InternalBridge.MetricID (Helidon Common Metrics 1.4.4 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<InternalBridge.MetricID>

Enclosing interface:

InternalBridge
```
public static interface InternalBridge.MetricID
extends Comparable<InternalBridge.MetricID>
```
Version-neutral abstraction of a metric identifier.
Note that for a metric with tags, the tags are ALWAYS present in the neutral MetricID. We want to encourage the internal clients to use the newer programming style, retrieving tags from the ID rather than the metadata (where it was stored in MP Metrics 1.1).

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default int`	`compareTo(InternalBridge.MetricID o)`	Compares this instance to another object (per `Comparable`.
`String`	`getName()`
`Map<String,String>`	`getTags()`
`default List<InternalBridge.Tag>`	`getTagsAsList()`	Provides the tags as a `List`.
`default String`	`getTagsAsString()`	Describes the tags as a single string: name1=value1,name2=value2,...

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the name from the identifier
  - getTags
```
Map<String,String> getTags()
```
    Returns:
    
    the tags from the identifier, as a Map
  - getTagsAsList
```
default List<InternalBridge.Tag> getTagsAsList()
```
    Provides the tags as a List. The returned Tag objects are separate from those associated with the ID so changes to the tags made by the caller do not perturb the original ID.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Tags
  - getTagsAsString
```
default String getTagsAsString()
```
    Describes the tags as a single string: name1=value1,name2=value2,...
    
    Returns:
    
    String containing the tags
  - compareTo
```
default int compareTo(InternalBridge.MetricID o)
```
    Compares this instance to another object (per Comparable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<InternalBridge.MetricID>
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - the other object to compare to
    
    Returns:
    
    -1, 0, +1 depending on whether this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the other object.
