// Package provider provides a factory-like abstraction for metrics backends.
// This package is provided specifically for the needs of the NY Times framework
// Gizmo. Most normal Go kit users shouldn't need to use it.
//
// Normally, if your microservice needs to support different metrics backends,
// you can simply do different construction based on a flag. For example,
//
// var latency metrics.Histogram
// var requests metrics.Counter
// switch *metricsBackend {
// case "prometheus":
// latency = prometheus.NewSummaryVec(...)
// requests = prometheus.NewCounterVec(...)
// case "statsd":
// s := statsd.New(...)
// t := time.NewTicker(5*time.Second)
// go s.SendLoop(t.C, "tcp", "statsd.local:8125")
// latency = s.NewHistogram(...)
// requests = s.NewCounter(...)
// default:
// log.Fatal("unsupported metrics backend %q", *metricsBackend)
// }
//

// Provider abstracts over constructors and lifecycle management functions for
// each supported metrics backend. It should only be used by those who need to
// swap out implementations dynamically.
//
// This is primarily useful for intermediating frameworks, and is likely
// unnecessary for most Go kit services. See the package-level doc comment for
// more typical usage instructions.
