JGroups "STATS" protocol

[dvanbale]

Is org.jgroups.protocols.STATS usable? If so, what are the performance implications of doing so?

[belaban]

Yes, it's usable. Performance wise, STATS does intercept up and down messages and compute stats based off of that,so there *is* a (small) performance price you have to pay. However, you *could* write your own STATS protocol if you're only interested in some stats, but not all, e.g. by copying STATS and removing stats you're not interested in, and possibly adding stats.

[rhusar]

Maybe STATS itself could be made configurable in order to minimize the overhead implied?
