### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Datafusion 49 brings `MetricValue::Custom { name: Cow<'static, str>, value: Arc<dyn CustomMetricValue>,}` which can be used to extend metric handling. With datafusion ballista shipping execution metrics from executors to scheduler question it is not clear how can custom value can be encoded/decoded more details about metric serialisation can be found at [1] ? At the moment with the effort to bring datafusion 49 support to ballista [2] we would throw error in case of custom metrics value.
