* allow exposing meta information for registered metrics New public method `ExposeMetadata` allows enabling exposition of dummy meta-info for all exposed metrics across all Sets. This feature is needed to improve compatibility with 3rd-party scrapers that require meta information to be present. This commit doesn't update exposition of default system/process metrics to keep the list of changes small. This change should be added in a follow-up commit. https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics/issues/48 * cleanup * wip * wip * wip * wip --------- Co-authored-by: Aliaksandr Valialkin <valyala@victoriametrics.com>
fastrand
Fast pseudorandom number generator.
Features
- Optimized for speed.
- Performance scales on multiple CPUs.
How does it work?
It abuses sync.Pool for maintaining "per-CPU" pseudorandom number generators.
TODO: firgure out how to use real per-CPU pseudorandom number generators.

As you can see, fastrand.Uint32n
scales on multiple CPUs, while rand.Int31n
doesn't scale. Their performance is comparable on GOMAXPROCS=1,
but fastrand.Uint32n runs 3x faster than rand.Int31n on GOMAXPROCS=2
and 10x faster than rand.Int31n on GOMAXPROCS=4.
