A gauge API is only useful if there's a correlation to a distributed worker, because "clobber" is not a useful aggregation method. There's no useful correlation of that signal to anything actionable.

I am not opposed to removing other data types, though they are extra convenience for user. In Scott's example above, if the metric is a counter, what are the guarantees provided? E.g. would it match the global count using GBK? If yes, then gauges (especially per-key gauges) can be very useful too

A String API makes it clear(er) that the values will not be aggregated in any way across workers. I don't think retaining both APIs (except for possibly some short migration period) worthwhile. On another note, I still find the distributed gague API to be a bit odd in general. On Fri, Apr 6, 2018

See for instance how gauge metrics are handled in Prometheus, Datadog and Stackdriver monitoring. Gauges are perfect for use in distributed systems, they just need to be properly labeled. Perhaps we should apply a default tag or allow users to specify one. On Fri, Apr 6, 2018, 9:14 AM Ben Chambers
