[collectd] [Feature Request/Version 6.0]: Adding Labels to Collectd Metrics #3094

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

    I have an initial stalking horse commit based on the 5.9 branch that
implements the data structures in the design docs, and has unit tests to
the avl tree used in the structures. I think we need some discussion on how
to convert the current value_list_t 5-tupples --> name + labels structure
in the new format. Also, how should we deal with metadata lists in the new
format?

  I'll try and put together the design thoughts in a document and share
that around, and perhaps a code snippet or two t go along with it.
