Trying to think like a control plane developer and user (of which I am neither) raised some questions about the overall interface provided here. If everyone else is happy with the current interface, then I'll shut up :-)
It seems like it should be possible to query the last measured dirty rate at any time. In particular, it should be possible to query the value before any rate has been measured (either returning an error, or if that is unpalatable perhaps a result with a zero interval to indicate "this data isn't useful"), but also *during* a subsequent measurement period. That is, the result of the previous measurement should always be available on demand and a measurement becomes "current" when it completes. Given that we allow the caller to specify the measurement interval, some callers might specify a long period. As only one measurement can be taken at a time, a long running measurement rules out taking a short measurement. That's probably okay, but does lead me to wonder whether the API should include a mechanism allowing the cancellation of an in-progress measurement. dme. -- I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am.
