motivation: expose increment and decrement public APIs
changes:
* add increment and decrement public API to Meter
* improve the implementation of AccumulatingMeter and TestMeter
* add tests for new APIs
* refactor/modernize other tests
motivation: seperate gauge from recorder in a backwards compatible way
changes:
* add new meter and meter handler pair
* add increment and decrement to meter handler
* add default implementation based on recorder for backwards compatibility
* add and adjust tests
motivation: adjust to swift 5.6
changes:
* define sendable shims for protocols and structs that may be used in async context
* refactor Gauge to include rather than inherit Recorder
* adjust tests
* add a test to make sure no warning are emitted
motivation: It is not currently possible to record floating point values via the swift-metrics API even if the metrics backend supports it.
modifications: Adds a `FloatingPointCounter` type to allow users to accumulate non-integral metrics backed by a `FloatingPointCounterHandler`. Introduces a default implementation for creating and destroying `FloatingPointCounterHandler`s for metric backends that do not natively support floating point counters. On such backends, `FloatingPointCounter` is backed by a `AccumulatingRoundingFloatingPointCounter` which accumulates floating point values internally and record increments to a wrapped `CounterHandler` after crossing integer boundaries.
result: Users can create `FloatingPointCounter`s to record floating point values and get enhanced behavior for backends that support floating point values.
Motivation:
As discussed in Issue #28, there are a few preferred lightweight APIs for getting timestamps such as `DispatchTime` but those APIs return `UInt64` types, which need to be handled for overflow.
Modifications:
Added a generic `BinaryInteger` overload method for `recordNanoseconds` that guards against accidental overflows from `UInt64` to `Int64`
Result:
Users now have access to a new method to record nanosecond measurements with `Timer` that guards against overflows.
Motivation:
`Timer.record*` methods are generic to cover all cases of `BinaryInteger` values and converts the passed value into `Int64` before doing time unit conversions and overflow checks.
Modifications:
All methods that accept `BinaryInteger` types and converts to `Int64` now guards against values higher than `Int64.max`
Result:
Users can reliably use the `Timer.record*` APIs with `BinaryInteger` types without concern for unknowing fatal errors.
motivation: highlight the need to address overflow in metric objects that are integer based
changes:
* add section in the readme about addressing woverflow
* fix timer's unit conversion to address potential overflow
motivation: allow middleware libraries better control of metric object lifecycle to reduce potential memory footprint when using metrics libraries that use some kind of registry or cache (eg polling backends)
changes:
* Introduce metric.destroy() to enable lifecycle management
* Add destroy functions to example impl in readme
* rename Counter::increment "value" parameter to "by"
motivation: nicer API signature
changes: rename Counter::increment and CounterHandler::increment "value" parameter to "by"
motivation: address feedback from community, prepare for moving api to official repo
changes:
* add reset method to counter
* do not force the user facing metric object to implement the mteric handler protocol. this was done for convinience and confuses matters
* adjust tests
* fix a few typos
motivation: after much discussion around logging API, we settled on a different API style, primairly the fact that we will use initializers instead of factories
changes:
* introduce intermediate classes for Counter, Timer and Recorder which are designed to replace the Metrics.makeCounter, Metrics.makeTimer and Metrics.makeRecorder APIs and wrap corresponding CounterHandler, TimerHandler and ReorderHandler coming from the metrics implmentation
* rename Metrics to MetricsSystem
* rename MetricsHandler -> MetricsFactory
* remove Metrics.withCounter, Metrics.withTimer and Metrics.withRecorder syntactic sugar
* rename Metrics.timed with Timer.measure
* make sure metrics system can only be initialized/bootstrapped once per process
* adjust and add tests
* add a bit of docs on key APIs
