https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2203
@revans2 Added rudimentary sanity check validation for metrics reporters
configs. Because reporter implementations may want to have their own custom
config keys, we can't really cover everything. I think we'll have to settle on
basic sanity checks + reporters documenting the custom configuration fields
they expose.
I'll think more about metrics naming and metadata. Like I said, feedback,
opinions and pull requests against this branch are more than welcome.
