Features documentation about brubeck HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @arnaudmm! Thanks to you for checking out brubeck! I'm afraid that StatsD has so many features that it'd be pointless to list the ones we're missing. If you have an existing statsd deployment in production though, it should be pretty straightforward to check out what Brubeck is missing just by reading the docs.

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try to answer them for you. Cheers!

A little more detail would be nice. For instance, what kinds of metrics does Brubeck support? Does it have gauges or histograms?

from brubeck.

Brubeck supports all the native metric types of StatsD: counters, timers, gauges, histograms and meters. :)

There's quite a bit of difference between the types in Brubeck and what's on https://github.com/etsy/statsd/blob/master/docs/metric_types.md. Sets aren't supported in Brubeck, for instance, while histograms aren't mentioned in the statsd docs.

Over the years there have been many different statsd implementations with a bunch of extensions. It's hard to tell what any particular server supports.

Anyway, I'm happy to write up a PR for this now that I've found in the code (nicely documented, thanks) what's supported.

@joeshaw: Oh wow, that metrics list from StatsD has changed quite a bit lately. If you're willing to open a PR, that'd be really appreciated!
