-----------------------------------

So, varargs + generics is a Bad Thing™
I used varargs to make the call interface nice and easy. Who likes to have to
do
{code:java}
foo(var1,var2,new String[]{"foo","bar"}){code}
instead of
{code:java}
foo(var1,var2,"foo", "bar") or foo(var1, var2){code}
Generics would be useful, but I'd have to redo the interface to take
Iterable<T> or something and put it back on the callers.
Do you have any thoughts on that type of interface? Is there a way that sucks
less?
> Stopwatch based capability for nested, named, timings in a call stack
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1373
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1373
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: lang.time.*
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
>
> While working on adding some timing functionality to a Metron feature, I came
> across the
> Stopwatch class, but found that it didn’t suite my needs.
> What I wanted to do was to create a timing from a top level function in our
> Stellar dsl, and have have a group of related timings, such that the end
> result was the overall time of the call, and nested timings of other calls
> executed during the dsl execution of that function. These timings would all
> be named, and have a path for identification and include timing the language
> compiler/execution as well as the function execution itself. It would be
> helpful if they were tagged in some way as well, such that the consumer could
> filter during visitation.
> So I have written StackWatch to provide this functionality, and submitted it
> in a Metron PR.
> From the PR description:
> StackWatch
> A set of utility classes under the new package stellar.common.timing have
> been added. These provide the StackWatch functionality.
> StackWatch provides an abstraction over the Apache Commons StopWatch class
> that allows callers to create multiple named and possibly nested timing
> operations.
> <…>
> This class may be more generally useful to this and other projects, but I am
> not sure where it would live since we wouldn’t want it in common.
> StackWatch uses a combination of Deque and a custom Tree implementation to
> create, start and end timing operations.
> A Visitor pattern is also implemented to allow for retrieving the results
> after the completion of the operation.
