Discussion:
What happened: I setup custom metrics based autoscaling with multiple metrics. One of those metrics was not available. HPA reports all metrics as "unknown" (even the ones that are still available) and refuses to operate. What you expected to happen: Pods would be automatically scaled based on metrics that were available, ignoring missing metrics (treating them as zero). A partial failure in the metrics system should not prevent auto-scaling from proceeding with the data that it has. For example, CPU % metrics come from the k8s metrics server whereas the other metrics come from the prometheus adapter. If the prometheus adapter goes away we can still use the CPU metric as a lower bound on the number of replicas. If you consider, e.g. , instead of aborting the whole metric gathering process there, it could have stored a placeholder or zero metric value when it fails to fetch the metric. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Setup a custom metrics server and tell HPA to scale based on several metrics, one of which is not actually available.

this return returns nil value of statuses variable. statuses variable contains the value of all metrics.
as long as we failed to get one metric of all metrics, the func computeReplicasForMetrics returns, the scale lose efficacy, it is not highly available. when failed to get metric, should we record this event and do not return:)

this issue was resolved or it works as designed? thanks,
I was testing this last week and it is not resolved. I don't think it is reasonable to say this is working as designed.
Seems there is a PR to fix it, but it hasn't been reviewed or merged.
yes, I looked into the master branch code, not fixed yet, just curious about it, it would not be fixed or as dobesv said it will be merged/fixed latter with that PR.

This issue was discussed at SIG Autoscaling yesterday: I'm going to raise a new PR later this week given the code's changed so much since the original PR was raised by that it doesn't make sense to just rebase it.
Thanks, that would be excellent!
