Roller lifter longevity ?

I just wondered what info anyone could give me on the life expectancy of the factory roller lifters in a motor that's basically stock ?
Also when a lifter goes bad or wears out, what are the first indications of failure or what visible signs should I be looking for?
Thanks

other than running with no oil maybe longer than forever. lot of other parts will wear out first.

flat spots or the roller itself does not spin freely.
