ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-4192: --------------------------------------- Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2226 Having `MetricsConfig` extend `Properties` mitigates the issue to some extend. I know I am very adamant on not having an extra config object. It's because I heard it a bunch of times that the plethora of config types annoy developers (in general, not Flink specific) when every tool/system/library introduces their own config types. So it would be nice if Flink did not introduce more than one custom config type. > Move Metrics API to separate module > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4192 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4192 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metrics > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Chesnay Schepler > Assignee: Chesnay Schepler > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > > All metrics code currently resides in flink-core. If a user implements a > reporter and wants a fat jar it will now have to include the entire > flink-core module. > Instead, we could move several interfaces into a separate module. > These interfaces to move include: > * Counter, Gauge, Histogram(Statistics) > * MetricGroup > * MetricReporter, Scheduled, AbstractReporter > In addition a new MetricRegistry interface will be required as well as a > replacement for the Configuration. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
