I don't understand this line 100% <-- would you mind helping me understand why we need to do this?

The goal is to explicitly break the following example, so that library consumers build their applications knowing that nothing is collected post
Shutdown
, and don't accidentally become dependant on collecting metrics post-Shutdown
.Resetting the library to the
BlackholeSink
isn't strictly necessary. But between applications not cleaning up goroutines (that generate calls to the library), andMetricSink
implementations not supporting shutdown/close, it's possible that applications collect metrics and then upload them in the small window betweenShutdown
and exit. This makes it pretty explicit that this isn't intended or supported.There is a race condition here: callers getting a pointer to the underlying
Metrics
struct and then completing their call into theMetricSink
afterShutdown
finishes.MetricSink
must be thread-safe, so this is likely fine.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Thanks for laying out for me here 💯 I see now the issue that could happen;
