This conversation perhaps belongs somewhere else.
Longs aren't currently supported in hadoop metrics, so perhaps we need a Jira
ticket for that. But before deciding to make that a priority, I think it is
worth trying to use the functionality that already exists. It may be
sufficient.
> Metrics should offer complete set of static report methods or none at all
