What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Before:

Note: Because distributions are a new metric type, they should be instrumented under new metric names during submission to Datadog. After: Note: Because distributions metric data is stored differently from other types, any metric name used for a distribution should not be used for any other metric types.

Merge instructions

If a metric was previously a non-distribution type and then submitted as a distribution, this can cause issues. If a metric was previously distribution type and then submitted as a different type, this can also cause issues. The previous note only hints towards the former.

Motivation:
