AbstractStatGroup
Internal base shared by StatGroup, PairedStatGroup, and VectorStatGroup. Holds the spec list and provides the modality-agnostic read / merge / reset implementations.
Inheritors
Properties
concurrency
The weakest child guarantee; the requested mode applies when constructing fresh children.
Functions
merge
Fold a compatible snapshot values into this accumulator at timestampNanos. Implementations document whether the combine is exact or approximate and which state the snapshot omits. The source accumulator is unaffected.
Time-dependent statistics, such as windows, place the snapshot at timestampNanos, which must share the clock the caller uses for updates and reads. Time-independent statistics ignore it.
read
Return the current result evaluated at timestampNanos. Time-independent statistics ignore the timestamp. Reading does not add an observation.
Snapshot consistency depends on the implementation's synchronisation. Locks protect coupled state under Concurrency.Strict and Concurrency.HighWrite; independently updated cells and JVM striped adders can still yield a best-effort snapshot. Concurrency.Relaxed permits drift across coupled cells.
reset
Restore the configured baseline, including any prior seed. Preserves the configuration and concurrency.
validateMerge
Create an independent accumulator at the configured baseline. A null concurrency preserves this accumulator's mode; a non-null value overrides it. Modality subtypes narrow the return type to preserve the input shape.
