Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-4920: ----------------------------------------- Currently, in order to create a Gauge that simply returns 4 in Scala you have to write the following: {code} MetricGroup heap = ... heap.gauge[Long, Gauge[Long]]("Max", new Gauge[Long] { override def getValue: Long = 4 }) {code} This issue is about allowing something the following: {code} MetricGroup heap = ... heap.gauge[Long, Gauge[Long]]("Max", new ScalaGauge[Long](() => 4)) {code} ScalaGauge will implement the Gauge interface. The above example should be supportable by adding a constructor like ScalaGauge(fun: () => T). But there's probably a lot more wizard stuff you can do with a Scala-specific gauge type; someone else will have to chime in with suggestions. > Add a Scala Function Gauge > -------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4920 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4920 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metrics, Scala API > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Labels: easyfix, starter > > A useful metrics utility for the Scala API would be to add a Gauge that > obtains its value by calling a Scala Function0. > That way, one can add Gauges in Scala programs using Scala lambda notation or > function references. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
