This can be fixed easily by providing specific `addHistogram/...` methods to the store. Now, let's talk about A. Essentially, the goal was to reduce the overhead for the sender. If you look at the dumping procedure in the `MetricQueryService` you will find that for the sender the current requires the least amount of work, as far as i can tell. We don't create more elaborate containers (which btw. i would personally prefer too!) as this is another short-lived object created for every metric. Also, in regards to sender/receiver going out of sync: we can add a test to guarantee that sender&receiver do not go out of sync. > Expose metrics to Webfrontend > ----------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4389 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4389 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metrics, Webfrontend > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Chesnay Schepler > Assignee: Chesnay Schepler > Fix For: pre-apache > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-7%3A+Expose+metrics+to+WebInterface -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
