How is this different to "rate of incoming"?
If you mean "cached right now", then I'd need a timeframe so I could
design an event. I could do this in December or January.
> - How much total RAM do all v2/v3/both descs occupy on your hsdirs?
(max,min,avg,mean over your 18 hsdirs)
I think we have some of the data, but I'd need a list of the objects that
contribute to RAM usage. Do you just want descriptors, or is there a
replay cache? I could do this in December or January.
> - Size variance of v2/v3 descs? (max,min,avg,mean)
Already implemented as a histogram, needs defined bin sizes.
> - What's the rate of incoming v2/v3/both descs?
Already implemented, needs a time period.
> - How many failed requests for HS descriptors over time? (percentage
over total requests?)
I'm going to implement this in December.

with more stuff as we see some results and understand the space better.

Yes, that's fine. They only need to be rough estimates.
