client_java 1.0.0-alpha-3 available

[Fabian Stäber]

Hello,

The next pre-release of the upcoming client_java 1.0.0 is available.

It adds two major new modules:

• prometheus-metrics-exporter-httpserver is a built-in HTTP server for exposing Promtheus metrics (this is a port of simpleclient_httpserver).
• prometheus-metrics-exporter-opentelemetry is an exporter for pushing metrics to an OpenTelemetry endpoint in OTLP format.

In addition to these new features, there was a lot of internal refactoring.

There isn't much documentation yet, but for each new module there's an end-to-end example and a README in the examples/ directory (on the 1.0.x branch).

The next features on the roadmap towards 1.0.0 are a port of the built-in JVM metrics, and a backwards-compatibility module for existing simpleclient.

Feedback welcome!

Fabian
