johanl-db opened a new pull request, #41555: URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/41555
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? This change brings a small improvement to allow creating SQLMetrics with an arbitrary initial value instead of always using `-1`. ### Why are the changes needed? This simplifies creating metrics when there's a need for a metric with a starting value other than `-1`. For example, the Delta MERGE INTO implementation [creates today different timing metrics and set them manually to 0 after creation:](https://github.com/delta-io/delta/blob/0bec32820e95e80b6accd2c88e4d532b1247497d/spark/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/delta/commands/MergeIntoCommand.scala#L173): ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? No ### How was this patch tested? Adding tests to `SQLMetricsSuite` creating metrics with initial values. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
