[INFRAUTILS-34] Metrics API with Enum instead of String typed labels

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 18:46:29 +0000

https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/70822/ gave me the idea that perhaps the Metrics API could also directly support Enum instead of String typed labels, something like this:

enum Reason {  exception, pktexception, name_not_found, info_not_found, subnet_not_found, egress_not_found };

metricProvider.newCounter(..., "mac", "interface", Reason); // instead of ... "reason"
                    pktDropCounter.label(macAddress).label(interfaceName).label(Reason.info_not_found).increment();
