Package com.hazelcast.jet.core.metrics

Interface Metric

public interface Metric
Handler for manipulating one user-defined metric.

Metrics are in essence just simple long values, with any semantics. They can be used for example for counting things (like number of certain events) or for storing standalone values (like measurements).

To obtain an instance, use Metrics.metric(java.lang.String). The instance is tied to the processor it was created for and is or is not thread-safe based on the method that was used to create it.

  • Method Details

    • name

      @Nonnull String name()
      Returns the name of the associated metric.

    • unit

      @Nonnull Unit unit()
      Return the measurement unit for the associated metric. Meant to provide further information on the type of value measured by the user-defined metric. Doesn't affect the functionality of the metric, it still remains a simple numeric value, but is used to populate the MetricTags.UNIT tag in the metric's description.
