Currently Heapster stores in internal memory few minutes of data and allows queries that request this data (through its REST-interface). The consume part will just request the data from the HWKMETRICS instead.

Consumers is terrible word for any client, as they both consume as well as produce the data. 

Well that was actually reflecting the current state, we have "things" that feed data to the server and "things" that consume data from the server. The client libraries provide an API to feed and consume. 


For example for Heapster, we currently produce the data, however at the moment I'm creating a change that will consume the data from HWKMETRICS. 

Why does it consume data now ?

Integration / clients is far more used and known word, while consumer/producer is something more specific and implies a design pattern.
