Problem

While looking into the scheduler's performance, I noticed that we are completely blind to how much time is spent in the critical paths like /bind and /filter. Our existing Prometheus metrics do a good job tracking GPU allocation state, but they don't tell us anything about request latency or error rates.
For example, the Bind workflow runs several steps back-to-back: it looks up the pod, fetches the node, acquires a node-level lock to prevent GPU over-allocation, patches annotations, and finally calls the apiserver. If a scheduling cycle is slow, there is currently no way to know if the delay is caused by lock contention or a slow apiserver response. We also lack basic counters to track how often these workflows succeed or fail.

Solution

Following the maintainers' guidance to stick with histograms instead of bringing in heavy tracing frameworks (like OTel), I've added standard Prometheus latency histograms for our critical scheduling paths.
Here's what this PR adds:
1)hami_scheduler_bind_duration_seconds: Histogram tracking the exact time spent in the /bind handler. It includes a phase label to break down the total time into sub-steps (total, pod_lookup, node_lookup, node_lock, patch_annotations, apiserver_bind).
2)hami_scheduler_filter_duration_seconds: Histogram tracking the overall execution time for /filter.
3)hami_scheduler_score_duration_seconds: Histogram tracking the calcScore phase (which does the heavy lifting for node scoring) during filtering.
4)Counters (_total) for all of the above, labeled by result (success or error).
This uses our existing prometheus/client_golang dependency, so there's zero bloat. I also made sure not to change any existing method signatures (no context hacking).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now exposes Prometheus metrics for bind, filter, and score durations and totals. Bind metrics include operation phases. Filter metrics classify request errors. Tests verify registration and observations.

Changes

Scheduler metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metrics contracts and registration
pkg/scheduler/metrics.go, cmd/scheduler/metrics.go, pkg/scheduler/metrics_test.go
Defines bind, filter, and score duration and total collectors. Registers them and tests labeled observations and result classification.
Bind phase instrumentation
pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go
Records total bind duration and counts. Records pod lookup, node lookup, node locking, annotation patching, and API-server binding durations with result labels.
Filter and score instrumentation
pkg/scheduler/routes/route.go, pkg/scheduler/routes/route_test.go, pkg/scheduler/score.go
Records filter request duration and totals, including error outcomes. Records score duration and totals. Tests invalid predicate JSON metrics.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61fb1

Score calculation failures are currently reported as successful metrics, which can hide scheduler errors and mislead production monitoring. The result labeling and its test should be corrected before merging.

Poem

A rabbit times each bind with care,
Counts filter hops through scheduler air.
Scores leave trails of success and error,
Prometheus records each tiny tremor.
Metrics bloom where tasks align—
Hop, hop, review looks fine!

Set the score metric result from the aggregate error.

When scoreNode returns an error, scoreResult remains "success". Assign ResultLabel(aggregateErr) before returning. Add a test that checks ScoreTotal{result="error"}.

@devGPP23 We have a profiling flag for monitoring performance.

Thanks for the review @Shouren
I see that pprof is there for profiling. These histograms were meant for a different use case ,always-on Grafana dashboards and alerting (like "alert if p95 bind latency > 5s").
pprof is great for one-off debugging but doesn't feed into dashboards.
Should I rework this to complement pprof, or is there a different approach you'd prefer?

@devGPP23 I think the scenario you mentioned should be an application scenario for continuous profiling.

Thanks @Shouren
Just to make sure I understand correctly are you suggesting this use case (always-on latency tracking for dashboards and alerting) would be better handled by a continuous profiling tools rather than Prometheus histograms? Or would you prefer I integrate latency visibility into the existing profiling flag instead?

Either way, happy to follow whatever direction works best for the project. I'll keep this closed for now and focus on #2716 or other fixes

Thanks for clarifying the direction @Shouren . I'll leave this closed and let continuous profiling handle this use case. I'll focus on the other open PRs/fixes. Thanks again for the review
