Decoupling Metric Store from Worker Coordinator

[ajleong623]

Description

There is a new actor called SamplePostProcessorActor. However the SamplePostProcessorActor acts as an actor for processing samples directly from the Worker actors as well as any task involving the metrics store. '

SamplePostProcessorActor initialization:

The new actor is initialized in the coordinator. This happens in the prepare_benchmark method. The SamplePostProcessorActor is initialized after receiving the StartSamplePostProcessorActor message which has the configurations for creating the metrics store, the metrics sample and profile sample post processor objects, and the telemetry collectors. StartTelemetry and StopTelemetry messages are now used to start and stop the telemetry collection threads through the coordinator

Which methods were changed:

• send_samples: In the worker class, instead of just sending samples to the coordinator, a ProcessSamples message is sent to the new SamplePostProcessorActor which is then sent to the SamplePostprocessor instance inside of the SamplePostProcessorActor.
• to_externalizable: In the metric store, the to_externalizable method is used to send the results of running the workload to the coordinator. We will now need to call the method through the SamplePostProcessorActor and the GetExternalizableMetricsStore message.
• close: When the coordinator is closed, the message CloseMetricsStore will now be used to signal to the new actor to close the metrics store.
• reset_relative_time: The ResetRelativeTimeRequest message will now be used instead to reset the relative time of the metric store in the new actor.

One of the concerns if with synchronization. A lot of methods involving the metrics store that were synchronous are now handled through an asynchronous message to the SamplePostProcessorActor which holds the metric store.

Path	Line	Severity	Description
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1430	low	The new SamplePostProcessorActor.prepare_telemetry removes the database_type check that previously skipped OpenSearch-specific telemetry devices for non-OpenSearch backends. This is a functional regression that could cause unintended cluster probing against non-OpenSearch targets, though it appears to be an oversight rather than deliberate.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1213	low	Typo in method call: `time.from_is8601` (should be `from_iso8601`). If this code path is reached it will raise AttributeError, causing a silent failure in metrics index name generation for CPU-based redline feedback. Appears to be a bug rather than intentional sabotage.
tests/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator_test.py	2543	low	Two test methods share the same name (`test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_task_finished` and `test_close_metrics_store_via_message` each appear twice). In Python, the second definition silently overrides the first, meaning half the test coverage is dead. This is a code quality issue and appears to be a copy-paste mistake rather than deliberate test coverage suppression.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Typo in Method The method time.from_is8601 appears to be a typo — it should likely be time.from_iso8601. This will cause a runtime AttributeError when computing the metrics index name for redline testing. ts = time.from_is8601(test_run_timestamp) return "benchmark-metrics-%04d-%02d" % (ts.year, ts.month) Double Close close_metric_store() is called both in joinpoint_reached (when finished() is true, line 1249) and in close() (line 1327). If close() is called after the benchmark finishes, the metrics store will receive a second CloseMetricsStore message, potentially causing errors or double-close issues in the actor. def close(self): self.progress_publisher.finish() self.close_metric_store() def close_metric_store(self): self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, CloseMetricsStore()) Missing Database Type Check The original prepare_telemetry in the coordinator had a database-type guard that skipped OpenSearch-specific telemetry devices for non-OpenSearch databases. The new prepare_telemetry inside SamplePostProcessorActor always adds all OpenSearch-specific telemetry devices regardless of the database type, losing that conditional logic. def prepare_telemetry(self, opensearch, enable): enabled_devices = self.config.opts("telemetry", "devices") telemetry_params = self.config.opts("telemetry", "params") log_root = paths.test_run_root(self.config) os_default = opensearch["default"] if enable: devices = [ telemetry.NodeStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.ExternalEnvironmentInfo(os_default, self.metrics_store), telemetry.ClusterEnvironmentInfo(os_default, self.metrics_store), telemetry.JvmStatsSummary(os_default, self.metrics_store), telemetry.IndexStats(os_default, self.metrics_store), telemetry.MlBucketProcessingTime(os_default, self.metrics_store), telemetry.SegmentStats(log_root, os_default), telemetry.CcrStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.RecoveryStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.TransformStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.SearchableSnapshotsStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.SegmentReplicationStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store), telemetry.ShardStats(telemetry_params, opensearch, self.metrics_store) ] else: devices = [] self.telemetry = telemetry.Telemetry(enabled_devices, devices=devices) Uninitialized Attributes SamplePostProcessorActor does not define an __init__ method, so attributes like metrics_store, sample_post_processor, profile_metrics_post_processor, telemetry, and worker_coordinator_actor are only set when receiveMsg_StartSamplePostProcessorActor is called. Any message received before that (e.g., ProcessSamples, ResetRelativeTimeRequest) will raise an AttributeError. class SamplePostProcessorActor(actor.BenchmarkActor): def receiveMsg_StartSamplePostProcessorActor(self, msg, sender): self.config = msg.config self.metrics_store = metrics.metrics_store(cfg=self.config, workload=msg.workload.name, test_procedure=msg.test_procedure.name, read_only=False) self.sample_post_processor = DefaultSamplePostprocessor(self.metrics_store, msg.downsample_factor, msg.workload.meta_data, msg.test_procedure.meta_data) self.profile_metrics_post_processor = ProfileMetricsSamplePostprocessor(self.metrics_store, msg.workload.meta_data, msg.test_procedure.meta_data) os_clients = self.create_os_clients() uses_static_responses = self.config.opts("client", "options").uses_static_responses # Avoid issuing any requests to the target cluster when static responses are enabled.

If receiveMsg_UpdateSamples in the coordinator still calls self.coordinator.update_samples, and update_samples no longer accumulates raw samples, this may be fine — but it should be verified that the coordinator-side handling of UpdateSamples is consistent with the removal of raw_samples accumulation and that no samples are processed twice. def send_samples(self): if self.sampler: samples = self.sampler.samples if len(samples) > 0: self.send(self.master, UpdateSamples(self.worker_id, samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) return samples

Possible issue	Fix typo in ISO 8601 parsing method name The method name from_is8601 appears to be a typo — it should be from_iso8601. This will cause an AttributeError at runtime when CPU-based redline testing is used with an OsMetricsStore. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1216-1217] def index_name(self, test_run_timestamp): - ts = time.from_is8601(test_run_timestamp) + ts = time.from_iso8601(test_run_timestamp) return "benchmark-metrics-%04d-%02d" % (ts.year, ts.month) Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 __ Why: The method from_is8601 is clearly a typo for from_iso8601, which will cause an AttributeError at runtime when CPU-based redline testing is used with an OsMetricsStore. This is a critical bug that would break functionality.	High
	Guard against sending to uninitialized actor If self.sample_post_processor_actor is None (e.g., when a worker is started without it being set), calling self.send(None, ...) will silently fail or raise an error. A guard check should be added before sending to sample_post_processor_actor. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1939-1946] def send_samples(self): if self.sampler: samples = self.sampler.samples if len(samples) > 0: self.send(self.master, UpdateSamples(self.worker_id, samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) - self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) + if self.sample_post_processor_actor: + self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) return samples return None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: Adding a guard for self.sample_post_processor_actor being None is a reasonable defensive check, but in the current PR flow the actor is always set before send_samples is called, making this a minor robustness improvement rather than a critical fix.	Low
General	Prevent double-close of metrics store The SamplePostProcessorActor.close() method closes the metrics store, but after receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore sends a BenchmarkComplete message, receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore is also sent separately via close_metric_store(). However, self.metrics_store is not set to None after closing, so a second CloseMetricsStore message could attempt to close an already-closed store. Setting self.metrics_store = None after closing prevents double-close issues. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1400-1401] -def receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore(self, msg, sender): - self.close() +def close(self): + if self.metrics_store and self.metrics_store.opened: + self.metrics_store.close() + self.metrics_store = None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: Setting self.metrics_store = None after closing prevents potential double-close issues, since CloseMetricsStore can be sent multiple times. The existing close() method already guards with self.metrics_store.opened, but nullifying the reference adds an extra layer of safety.	Low

Adding a guard check is a reasonable defensive measure, especially since the actor is initialized to None in __init__ and could remain unset in edge cases.	Low
	Guard against uninitialized actor reference close_metric_store sends a CloseMetricsStore message without checking if self.target.sample_post_processor_actor is None. This method is called from both close() and joinpoint_reached(), and if the actor was never initialized (e.g., due to an early failure), this will raise an error.

Adding a None-guard prevents potential errors if the actor was never initialized due to an early failure.	Low
General	Clear metrics store reference after closing The close() method in SamplePostProcessorActor only closes the metrics store if it exists and is opened, but it does not set self.metrics_store = None afterward. This means repeated CloseMetricsStore messages could attempt to close an already-closed store if opened remains truthy, or leave a stale reference. The metrics store should be set to None after closing, consistent with the pattern used in WorkerCoordinator.joinpoint_reached. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1400-1401] def receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore(self, msg, sender): self.close() + self.metrics_store = None +def close(self): + if self.metrics_store and self.metrics_store.opened: + self.metrics_store.close() + Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: While setting self.metrics_store = None after closing is a good defensive practice, the metrics_store.opened check in close() already prevents double-closing. This is a minor improvement for consistency with the pattern in WorkerCoordinator.joinpoint_reached.	Low

	Remove duplicate test method definitions There are two pairs of duplicate test methods with identical names: test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_task_finished and test_close_metrics_store_via_message. In Python, the second definition silently overrides the first, so one test case is never actually executed. Rename the duplicates to cover distinct scenarios (e.g., BENCHMARK_COMPLETED reason). tests/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator_test.py [2602-2632] def test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_task_finished(self): + # existing test for TASK_FINISHED ... - self.actor.receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore(msg, sender=None) - self.actor.send.assert_called_once() -def test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_task_finished(self): +def test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_benchmark_completed(self): + # new test for BENCHMARK_COMPLETED ... - self.actor.receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore(msg, sender=None) - self.actor.send.assert_called_once() def test_close_metrics_store_via_message(self): - ... -def test_close_metrics_store_via_message(self): + # existing test ... +def test_close_metrics_store_when_already_closed(self): + # new test for already-closed store + ... + Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The duplicate test methods test_get_externalizable_metrics_store_task_finished (lines 2580 and 2602) and test_close_metrics_store_via_message (lines 2570 and 2624) mean the first definitions are silently overridden and never executed, reducing test coverage. Renaming them to cover distinct scenarios would improve test completeness.	Medium
	Guard against None actor reference before sending If self.sample_post_processor_actor is None (e.g., when the worker is started without a sample_post_processor_actor), calling self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ...) will fail. Add a guard to only send to the actor if it is not None. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1939-1946] def send_samples(self): if self.sampler: samples = self.sampler.samples if len(samples) > 0: self.send(self.master, UpdateSamples(self.worker_id, samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) - self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) + if self.sample_post_processor_actor: + self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) return samples return None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: If sample_post_processor_actor is None, calling self.send with it would fail. Since the field is initialized to None in __init__ and only set when a StartWorker message is received with a non-None value, this guard prevents potential runtime errors in edge cases.	Low
	Guard against uninitialized metrics store on close receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore delegates to self.close(), but close() checks self.metrics_store and self.metrics_store.opened. If self.metrics_store was never initialized (e.g., StartSamplePostProcessorActor was never received), this will raise an AttributeError. Add a guard to check if metrics_store is defined before calling close(). osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1400-1401] def receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore(self, msg, sender): - self.close() + if hasattr(self, 'metrics_store'): + self.close() Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: While the guard is a reasonable defensive measure, in practice receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore should only be called after receiveMsg_StartSamplePostProcessorActor has initialized metrics_store. The risk is real but low in normal operation flow.	Low

	Prevent premature metrics store closure before results are sent The metrics store is being closed (close_metric_store()) before GetExternalizableMetricsStore has been processed by the SamplePostProcessorActor. Since actor message processing is asynchronous, the CloseMetricsStore message (sent by close_metric_store()) may arrive and close the store before to_externalizable() is called. The close should only happen after the externalizable metrics have been retrieved, i.e., it should be triggered from within receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore after sending BenchmarkComplete. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1242-1251] if self.finished(): self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, StopTelemetry()) self.logger.info("All steps completed.") # Some metrics store implementations return None because no external representation is required. # pylint: disable=assignment-from-none self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, GetExternalizableMetricsStore(True, reason=ReasonForExternalizableRequest.BENCHMARK_COMPLETED)) - self.logger.debug("Closing metrics store...") - self.close_metric_store() - # immediately clear as we don't need it anymore and it can consume a significant amount of memory - self.metrics_store = None + # Close is now handled inside SamplePostProcessorActor after sending BenchmarkComplete Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: Since actor messages are processed sequentially in the SamplePostProcessorActor, the CloseMetricsStore message sent by close_metric_store() will be queued after GetExternalizableMetricsStore, so the ordering concern may be less severe than suggested. However, the suggestion raises a valid architectural point about ensuring the close happens after the externalizable metrics are retrieved.	Medium
	Guard against uninitialized actor reference If self.sample_post_processor_actor is None (e.g., when the actor hasn't been initialized yet), calling self.send on it will raise an error. A guard check should be added before sending to sample_post_processor_actor. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1939-1946] def send_samples(self): if self.sampler: samples = self.sampler.samples if len(samples) > 0: self.send(self.master, UpdateSamples(self.worker_id, samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) - self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) + if self.sample_post_processor_actor: + self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) return samples return None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: The sample_post_processor_actor is initialized to None in __init__ and set in receiveMsg_StartWorker, so there's a valid window where it could be None. Adding a guard prevents potential errors, though in practice send_samples should only be called after the worker is started.	Low
General	Stop actor after closing metrics store The close() method only closes the metrics store but does not stop the actor itself. After closing the metrics store, the actor should also stop itself (e.g., via self.send(self.myAddress, ActorExitRequest())) to avoid resource leaks and dangling actors. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1400-1401] def receiveMsg_CloseMetricsStore(self, msg, sender): self.close() + self.send(self.myAddress, ActorExitRequest()) Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: While stopping the actor after closing the metrics store is a reasonable concern, the ActorExitRequest import and usage pattern depends on the actor framework specifics. This is a valid improvement but not critical, and the actor framework may handle cleanup differently.	Low

This will cause an AttributeError at runtime when the method is called. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1216-1217] def index_name(self, test_run_timestamp): - ts = time.from_is8601(test_run_timestamp) + ts = time.from_iso8601(test_run_timestamp) return "benchmark-metrics-%04d-%02d" % (ts.year, ts.month) Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 __ Why: The method from_is8601 is clearly a typo for from_iso8601, which would cause an AttributeError at runtime. This is a critical bug that would break CPU-based redline testing functionality.	High
	Avoid premature metrics store closure before async retrieval The metrics store is being closed (CloseMetricsStore sent) immediately after requesting the externalizable metrics store (GetExternalizableMetricsStore). Since these are asynchronous actor messages, the close may execute before to_externalizable completes in SamplePostProcessorActor, potentially resulting in data loss or errors. The close should happen after the externalizable metrics have been retrieved and the benchmark complete message has been sent. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1242-1251] -def joinpoint_reached(self, worker_id, worker_local_timestamp, task_allocations): - ... - if self.finished(): - self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, StopTelemetry()) - self.logger.info("All steps completed.") - # Some metrics store implementations return None because no external representation is required. - # pylint: disable=assignment-from-none - self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, GetExternalizableMetricsStore(True, reason=ReasonForExternalizableRequest.BENCHMARK_COMPLETED)) - self.logger.debug("Closing metrics store...") - self.close_metric_store() - # immediately clear as we don't need it anymore and it can consume a significant amount of memory - self.metrics_store = None +if self.finished(): + self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, StopTelemetry()) + self.logger.info("All steps completed.") + # Some metrics store implementations return None because no external representation is required. + # pylint: disable=assignment-from-none + # Close will be triggered by SamplePostProcessorActor after sending BenchmarkComplete + self.target.send(self.target.sample_post_processor_actor, GetExternalizableMetricsStore(True, reason=ReasonForExternalizableRequest.BENCHMARK_COMPLETED)) + # immediately clear as we don't need it anymore and it can consume a significant amount of memory + self.metrics_store = None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The close_metric_store() call sends a CloseMetricsStore message immediately after GetExternalizableMetricsStore, but since actor messages are processed sequentially in thespian, the close would actually happen after the externalizable request is processed. However, the suggestion to move the close into SamplePostProcessorActor after sending BenchmarkComplete is architecturally cleaner and avoids potential ordering issues.	Medium
	Ensure metrics store is closed after benchmark completion When the reason is BENCHMARK_COMPLETED, the metrics store is never closed within SamplePostProcessorActor. The close() call was removed from the coordinator but is not present here either, meaning the metrics store may never be properly closed after benchmark completion. Add a self.close() call after sending BenchmarkComplete. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1403-1411] def receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore(self, msg, sender): # Some metrics store implementations return None because no external representation is required. # pylint: disable=assignment-from-none metric_results = self.metrics_store.to_externalizable(clear=msg.clear) if msg.reason == ReasonForExternalizableRequest.TASK_FINISHED: self.send(self.worker_coordinator_actor, TaskFinished(metric_results, msg.waiting_period)) elif msg.reason == ReasonForExternalizableRequest.BENCHMARK_COMPLETED: self.logger.debug("Sending benchmark results...") self.send(self.worker_coordinator_actor, BenchmarkComplete(metric_results)) + self.logger.debug("Closing metrics store...") + self.close() Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The CloseMetricsStore message is sent separately from GetExternalizableMetricsStore, but if the close happens before to_externalizable completes, data could be lost. Moving the close into receiveMsg_GetExternalizableMetricsStore after BenchmarkComplete ensures proper ordering within the actor's message queue.	Medium
	Guard against null actor reference before sending If self.sample_post_processor_actor is None (e.g., when the worker is started without a sample_post_processor_actor), calling self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ...) will fail. A guard check should be added before sending to sample_post_processor_actor. osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py [1939-1946] def send_samples(self): if self.sampler: samples = self.sampler.samples if len(samples) > 0: self.send(self.master, UpdateSamples(self.worker_id, samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) - self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) + if self.sample_post_processor_actor: + self.send(self.sample_post_processor_actor, ProcessSamples(samples, self.profile_sampler.samples)) return samples return None Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 __ Why: If sample_post_processor_actor is None, calling self.send with it could fail. Adding a null check is a defensive improvement, though in normal flow the actor should always be set via StartWorker.	Low

osbenchmark/benchmark.py	35	low	import linecache added but not used in benchmark.py. linecache can read arbitrary files by path; its usage is justified in worker_coordinator.py for traceback display, but its presence here without usage is anomalous.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	47	low	import os added as a new import but is not used in any of the visible diff changes for this file. No clear justification for adding it alongside the tracemalloc profiling code.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1558	low	display_top uses print() instead of the existing logger infrastructure. This bypasses log-level filtering and log redirection, causing memory profiling output to always appear on stdout regardless of logging configuration. Could obscure other output or indicate intent to ensure visibility outside normal logging channels.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1671	low	log_memory_usage called on every WakeupMessage in both WorkerCoordinatorActor and Worker actors. WakeupMessages are typically high-frequency in actor systems; calling tracemalloc.take_snapshot() on each wakeup introduces significant performance overhead and generates voluminous stdout output, which could mask other diagnostic output. This appears to be debug code not intended for production.

Path	Line	Severity	Description
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1600	low	The _write_memory_summary() function writes code_line snippets (captured via linecache) alongside allocation metadata to a local log file. While tracemalloc does not expose memory contents, source code lines written to logs could reveal implementation details if logs are stored in a shared or insufficiently protected location. This is a minor information disclosure risk with no evidence of malicious intent.

Path	Line	Severity	Description
osbenchmark/benchmark.py	1324	low	tracemalloc.start() is called unconditionally in main() without any configuration flag or guard. This adds memory profiling overhead to all benchmark runs, which is anomalous for a performance benchmarking tool, but no malicious intent is evident. Likely leftover debug instrumentation that was not gated behind a flag.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	1610	low	The display_top/log_memory_usage functions capture source code lines (via linecache.getline) and write them to local log files as part of memory profiling. This is the standard Python tracemalloc usage pattern and writes only to the application's own log directory (paths.logs()). No external transmission is present. Flagged as an anomaly only because this profiling code appears partially commented-out, suggesting work-in-progress debug instrumentation inadvertently left active.

Path	Line	Severity	Description
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	691	low	_report_message_difference() is called on every WakeupMessage, appending to a log file on each invocation. This is an unusual pattern that could cause excessive disk I/O or disk exhaustion over long benchmark runs, but appears to be an incomplete/leftover debugging artifact rather than intentional malice.
osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py	925	low	SampleUpdaterUnit actor class is defined but appears unused — it only relays UpdateSamples messages to self.parent with no other logic. The class has no parent reference set up and self.parent is never initialized. This seems like an incomplete refactoring artifact rather than a backdoor, but it is dead/unreachable code that is out of place.

[OVI3D0]

how come we send samples to master and the new actor?

[ajleong623]

Although the metrics collector is now in a separate actor, the progress message still needs the samples.

opensearch-benchmark/osbenchmark/worker_coordinator/worker_coordinator.py

Line 1317 in 9004daa

self.most_recent_sample_per_client[s.client_id] = s

. Should the progress bar also be handled in the new actor?

[OVI3D0]

LLM caught a typo here :) should be from_iso8601() no?

[ajleong623]

It is also like that in the metrics file

opensearch-benchmark/osbenchmark/time.py

Line 47 in 9004daa

def from_is8601(ts):

. I think that LLM is correct, though, and both functions should be changed.

[OVI3D0]

why do we create more OS clients here?

[ajleong623]

For the new actor, telemetry has been moved over due to its dependence on the metric store. OS clients were a requirement for telemetry.

[OVI3D0]

let's add an ActorExitRequest method to this actor for a clean shutdown on benchmark completion

[ajleong623]

Yes. Thank you for catching that. An edge case that has been bugging me is what happens when the coordinator shuts down before the SamplePostProcessorActor closes the metric store. I think that the clean up steps should be managed through looking out for that request. Additionally, maybe I should have named the new actor MetricStoreActor as well for readability and to tie it to the scope of its responsibilities.

[OVI3D0]

left a few comments/questions but this is shaping up pretty well! nice work
