Bowen Li commented on FLINK-6053:
---------------------------------
Cool. Adding a NumberGauge or NumericGauge was my first impression when running
into this problem. But not being able to extend AbstractReporter might not be
good. I need more time to think through solution. And I appreciate your input!
BTW, can you please add me as contributor to this project, so I can assign
tickets to myself?

> 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();
> }
> ```
