Support for Loggregator 2.x?

[adityajagtiani89]

Does this Java client include support for Loggregator 2.x? I'm interested in extracting metrics through the nozzle.

Currently using a client based off of your jmx-consumer project and have seen customers run into a memory issue after a few days of running.

Caused by: io.netty.util.internal.OutOfDirectMemoryError: failed to allocate 16777216 byte(s) of direct memory (used: 1845494055, max: 1860698112)
    at io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.incrementMemoryCounter(PlatformDependent.java:640)
    at io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.allocateDirectNoCleaner(PlatformDependent.java:594)
    at io.netty.buffer.PoolArena$DirectArena.allocateDirect(PoolArena.java:764)
    at io.netty.buffer.PoolArena$DirectArena.newChunk(PoolArena.java:740)
    at io.netty.buffer.PoolArena.allocateNormal(PoolArena.java:244)

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aditya

Hi @adityajagtiani89 - we don't currently support it, but I'll start work on it shortly. I've added it to the next release for now, but you shouldn't make any plans based on that as I don't know how easy it will be to add in.

Just so it is on your radar @twoseat here are 2 other enhancement requests in this area also: #851 and #899. Might be considered dupes.

@twoseat @nebhale So, the loggregator team just announced the removal of support for the v1 firehose in 3 months. How is the loggregator v2 support coming?

[twoseat]

I saw the announcement - that certainly sharpens the need! It got buried by some other priorities, but clearly it’s at the top of the list now.

Hello, I'm the anchor on the Loggregator team.
I wanted to point out work we've done to make consumption of v2 easier (protobuf and certs not required!):

As work on this progresses, please reach out If you have any questions about how to consume the v2 api.
