Timer metric support. about ekg HOT 5 OPEN

I think we should do this. It's on my agenda in the medium-term.

from ekg.

Is this fixed by the Distribution metric type?

from ekg.

Distribution does yet support percentiles (or other quantiles), as I want a better implementation than the one in statsd, which holds on to every data point. That approach doesn't scale well. Better is to keep a histogram of points and then doing a linear approximation in the histogram buckets.

from ekg.

Is somebody still on this? (Do you know, @tibbe?)
Is there an implementation plan and/or work-in-progress somewhere?
Would be interested in having distribution percentiles with ekg.

I'm not working on this, and I don't think @tibbe is, so patches welcome.
