I'm afraid that's right now bottlenecked on me. I'm doing the research and gathering all the considerations right now to write up a document, which can then be discussed and finalized by the community, so that we then can all work together to implement it in Prometheus. Since I kept getting distracted by "real life" things like ringing pagers or "small" work commitments in my day job, it's hard to give a reliably ETA even for publishing that doc, beyond "as soon as possible". I'm very sorry for that. In any case, expect a very careful discussion of the new concepts to introduce, and then an experimental implementation that will take its time before it finds its way into released versions of Prometheus. This is hard to get right in a way that won't require another change very soon so we have to be careful in what we promise as production-ready and what's still experimental. I shared my current state in my recent KubeCon talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7uzON-IDM It's very well possible (and desirable) that similar approaches in other mentrics system, like the DDSketch histograms, can be converted into the new Prometheus histograms. But it's too early to guarantee that. -- Björn Rabenstein [PGP-ID] 0x851C3DA17D748D03 [email] [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
