add support for delta summaries #8

Closed lykkin closed 4 years ago

lykkin commented 4 years ago

This adds a summary type to the cumulative metric types. The motivation for this is to export summary metrics from OpenCensus distribution types, as they are currently being entirely dropped on the floor.

The required changes in the exporter will be similar to that in the python exporter: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-opencensus-exporter-python/pull/9

Spec discussion for this change can be found here: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-exporter-specs/pull/34

going to close this for now. the use case this was targeting in the OpenCensus exporter can be solved by using two delta counters.
