Add Counter and Histogram Aggregators by ankit-bhargava · Pull Request #178 · open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp

ankit-bhargava · 2020-07-16T03:15:12Z

This PR builds out SDK support for the Counter and Histogram Aggregators which combine updates to metric instruments in meaningful values. Each aggregator stores exportable values in a vector format for ease of use further down the metrics data pipeline. All aggregators are derived from a base Aggregator abstract class which holds functions and data relevant to all aggregators. Additional data structures, such as a vector for histogram boundaries, are added on a case by case basis. Aggregators are dependent on the Metric Instruments API (pending approval in PR # 161) and will not compile without those files.

Also included are tests for each aggregator which validate the correctness of aggregation in both single-threaded and concurrent situations.

Note: We templated aggregators to support a wider array of scalar types. This templating prevents us from using out of line declarations as we normally would. As a result, we left all implementation code in the header file. If there are any suggestions to remedy this we will gladly make the change.

This PR is part of a series of PRs to add a full implementation of metrics API and SDK support.

nit - is there a reason these are not alphabetically sorted? If not, I would suggest to sort them.

the format tools seem to reorder these

Suggested change

* Recieves a captured value from the instrument and applies it to the current aggregator value.

* Receives a captured value from the instrument and applies it to the current aggregator value.

+        this->mu_.lock();
+        this->values_[0] += val;  // atomic operation


For int and long, is it possible to spin + CAS (compare and swap) to achieve better perf?
Not blocking this PR though.

+        {
+            this->mu_.lock();
+            this->values_[0] += other.values_[0];  // atomic operation afaik


curious, what does // atomic operation afaik mean?

+    {
+        this->kind_ = kind;
+        boundaries_   = boundaries;


Do we want to validate if the boundaries is monotonic?

Added a check which throws an invalid_argument exception if provided boundaries are not sorted

It'll be helpful to put a comment on the design decision - e.g. why would we choose linear search vs. binary search.

Included some background on the topic above the update function -- let me know if this is not enough and I'll gladly add a more thorough explanation.

+        for (int i = 0; i < bucketCounts_.size(); i++)
+        {
+            bucketCounts_[i] += other.bucketCounts_[i];


Who should be responsible of making sure the other.bucketCounts won't overflow? Do we in general want to check the buckets are the same before proceeding?

This is a good suggestion. When you say " other.bucketCounts won't overflow," are you referring to a scenario in which adding the values together would exceed the capacity of the data type?

For example, if other.bucketCounts_.size() <= i.

There are two separate things:

index overflow while accessing the bucketCounts_.

value overflow while performing +=.

1 is more scary.

I preempted the possibility of an index out of bounds issue by ensuring that the boundary vectors of both aggregators are identical.

For the value overflow, I can think of some hacky ways to do it, for example if abs(a)+abs(b) < 0 to indicate a wraparound. I could also subtract from a variable set to int_max. I feel like there has to be a native c++ tool/function which does this but I can't seem to find it...

Theoretically we could merge a more accurate histogram into a less accurate one (e.g. merge [0, 1, 10, 100, 1000) into [0, 10, 1000). Probably not something we should cover here.

Addressed comments and rebased. This has a dependency on PR #161 and should be ready to go once that PR has been merged.

Failing Bazel noexcept test although I was under the impression we were allowed to throw exceptions in SDK components? Unsure why the exporter proto CMake test is failing.

Fixed all the formatting issues and rebased. Seeing two runtime_context files which should not be part of this PR and I'm not sure why they've been added and if they're necessary? Feel free to remove these and merge (or I can delete them).
