Description

The existing widget descriptor files describe how to fetch metrics data from mysql. Since metrics are stored in HBase in Chukwa 0.5, the descriptor files should be interfacing with metrics REST api instead. Some of the aggregated metrics are still not query-able from HBase, therefore this jira will focus on system metrics and hadoop metrics only.
