Implement native histograms

Open SuperQ opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

Prometheus now supports a new "Native Histograms" datatype. We should implement this here.

@SuperQ Do you know if the text version of "native histograms" has been finalised? I would like to implement in the pull exporter for opentelemetry-js.

Sadly, native histograms can only be exposed through protobuf for now, which is not supported in the Python client. It might be better to wait until the feature gets stabilized[source]. image

Hello any following along here. I am working on a design doc for text based support for native histograms: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qoHf24cKMpa1QHskIjgzyf3oFhIPvacyJj8Tbe6fIrY/edit. It is still preliminary, and I plan to share with the broader prometheus-dev (and OpenMetrics) communities soon. Feel free to comment now though!
