             Summary: Full support for histogram and summary metric types in 
Prometheus exporter
                 Key: SOLR-12564
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12564
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
    Affects Versions: 7.3.1
            Reporter: Michał Politowski


The Prometheus metrics exporter in contrib does not support exposing complex 
metrics types: histograms and summaries. In particular request times metrics in 
Solr provide quantile values, which could be exposed as a Prometheus summary.

These complex types are represented in the Prometheus wire format as multiple 
samples with different, related names, which should be produced in a particular 
order under a common header as described in 
[https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/]

The current Solr Prometheus exporter is able to produce any required sample 
lines, but not to group them as specified.

This is only a minor issue for now, as Prometheus currently seems to ignore 
these constraints (and metrics types in general) itself, but this may change in 
the future (as stated eg. in 
[https://prometheus.io/docs/concepts/metric_types/])
