2019-03-08 01:43:09 UTC - seonghyun: I think it’s a good idea to use guage instead of histogram. Metrics changed to the gauge need not record the distribution of values. :smile:

2019-03-08 03:10:36 UTC - Dominic Kim: Agree with @seonghyun
Generally, the histogram is used in case we don't want to lose any precision during each interval. But that change applies the gauge to metrics which are being submitted every 10 seconds. So there would not be a big difference.
(Those metrics already support 10 seconds precision only)
