console: aggregate metrics from the datastream
it would be cool if the console could also aggregate metrics from the incoming data and compute percentiles of stats like scheduler latency, active tasks, and poll/idle durations over a rolling time window. we could display histograms or sparklines in the UI, as well as just displaying numeric values; tui has sparklines, bar charts and line charts that might be useful...
I like the idea of using sparklines to show this information. Something that would be really cool would be to provide a perf report like UI where you can dig into hot spots to narrow down which task is causing a particular parent task to slow down. And would we want the time window to be dynamically configurable?
