Bowen Li commented on FLINK-6053:
---------------------------------
I see. I can do a hack in FLINK-6013 to check if a Gauge is typed as Number
before sending it as a datadog metric.
Do you still feel it's necessary to make this change? If not, I can close this
issue.
> Gauge<T> should only take subclasses of Number, rather than everything

> Key: FLINK-6053
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6053
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metrics
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Bowen Li
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> Currently, Flink's Gauge is defined as
> ```java
> public interface Gauge<T> extends Metric {
> T getValue();
> }
> ```
> But it doesn't make sense to have Gauge take generic types other than Number.
> And it blocks I from finishing FLINK-6013, because I cannot assume Gauge is
> only about Number. So the class should be like
> ```java
> public interface Gauge<T extends Number> extends Metric {
> T getValue();
> }
> ```
