Yes. But if I'm not missing some thing you were major developer of
Metric API :) Shit happens. And it happened.

There is such concept - backward compatibility. I understand that
deprecation of some interface doesn't break backward compatibility but
it leads to question^ what should I use instead of this. And
MetricExporterSpi is not answer for this question. Because it is brand
new API and it requires rewrite client code.

No it is not. It's completely artificial thing which allow iterate via
all metric registries. GridMetricManager implements this interface
while it is not metric registry. Form user stand point it is very
strange interface which don't give me any information about it's
purpose and responsibilities.

Actually not. We have statisticsEnabled for caches for example. There
are other entities with such flag.

Why do you decided do in such way? Why you ignore existing
functionality? It affects user expectations and experience.

> You are working on this issue, aren’t you?

Yes? I'm working. Unfortunately we are not synchronized in this
context and I should redo all metrics related changes in order to
merge it with my changes. Anyway, my change doesn't solve all problems
(e.g. it doesn't introduce IgniteMonitoring facade).

> I can fix this issue, by myself.

Unfortunately it will be just fix. In my solution it is redesign. Stop
fixing issues, let's do things. It requires deeper changes. My changes
blocks AI 2.8 release because it big enough. So it retargeted on the
next release. And it is one more reason for moving the changes to the
internal packages. And it isn't good news for me because I will go
throughout pan and tiers of merge. But it is right.

They are created to deal with backward compatibility.

>> Metrics of type lists are not metric at all.
> They are created to deal with backward compatibility.

Yes, I know. But they should not be exported by MetricExporterSpi
implementations.
