Counters are emitted as statsd gauges rather than counters #12

I noticed that StatsDReporter.processCounter is emitting statsd gauges rather than counters.

Is this a bug, or is there a need for this that I'm missing?

statsd cannot send the whole metrics as an object and it sends metrics (such as counter or histogram) values (such as meanRate, 99percentile, etc.) to data store (e.g. datadog or tsdb) as gauge.
