Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-6053:
-----------------------------------------
This would break a public API so we can only do it for 2.0.
Also, the latency metric is also implemented as a Gauge which returns a HashMap.
> Gauge<T> should only take subclasses of Number, rather than everything

> Key: FLINK-6053
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6053
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metrics
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Bowen Li
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> Currently, Flink's Gauge is defined as
> ```java
> public interface Gauge<T> extends Metric {
> T getValue();
> }
> ```
> But it doesn't make sense to have Gauge take generic types other than Number.
> And it blocks I from finishing FLINK-6013, because I cannot assume Gauge is
> only about Number. So the class should be like
> ```java
> public interface Gauge<T extends Number> extends Metric {
> T getValue();
> }
> ```
