Summary: Allow calling MetricGroup methods multiple times Key: FLINK-4064 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4064 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Metrics Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek Right now, the methods on {{MetricGroup}} can only be called once, i.e. I have to keep the result of {{MetricGroup.counter(name)}} and use that to report metrics. For some cases, such as adding metrics support in triggers, it is necessary to allow calling a method multiple times and return the same metric object. On the first call, a new metric object would be created, subsequent calls would return that metric object. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
