Context
We've added a new method for recording to histograms:
record_many
. This is exposed on bothHistogram
andHistogramFn
, with a default implementation provided onHistogramFn
to make it backwards compatible.It allows recording a single value multiple times, which can be a common use case when translating from bucketed histograms to histograms in
metrics
, as bucketed histograms may simply provide a single value for a bucket and the count of that value... so representing such a bucket inmetrics
requires recording that valuecount
times.Closes #509.
