The Datadog client now has the ability to send histogram metrics as the
Datadog-specific distribution metric type. The Datadog client
configuration has a new DistributionPrefixes item which specifies the
prefixes of metric names that, when reported as histograms to the stats
library, are to be sent as distributions instead. For example, when the
prefix list is set to { "dist_" }, then any histogram metric whose
name begins with "dist_" is sent as a distribution; all other histograms
are sent as ordinary histograms, as before.
The default configuration sends no histograms as distributions.
