[Hawkular-dev] metric data type
OK, folks... how do we solve the following?
There are now two independent enums to define metric data type - one in inventory and one
in metrics.
org.hawkular.inventory.api.model.MetricDataType
org.hawkular.metrics.client.common.MetricType
From an agent or feed perspective, I now have to decide which one I
want. Pretty annoying, but OK I can translate between the two if I need to (if the agent
is talking to inventory, it will use their enum; if talking to metrics, use their enum).
In the agent configuration, <metric-dmr> will need to use the common values between
the two in order to support both. But this leads to a more difficult problem to come to
grips with - inventory and metric enums for metric type have different values!
Inventory has GAUGE, AVAILABILITY, COUNTER, COUNTER_RATE.
Metrics API has GAUGE, COUNTER, TIMING, SIMPLE.
Right now, the wildfly agent only supports gauge and counter (and inventory
availability).
