William Kennedy a794f77b54 Update go_collector_test.go
We are running into a timeout with TestHistogramConcurrency on our Jenkins box. I noticed in the stack trace for the timeout this block.

goroutine 2348 [chan send]:
github.comcast.com/ventris/kober/vnd/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus.(*goCollector).Collect(0xc20801e8e0, 0xc20800a7e0)

This suggested that even though the TestGoCollector test was finished, a goroutine was still hanging around. I traced it back to the call to c.Collect always sending twice of the provided channel. This change receives that second value and allows the goroutine to finish with the test.

Still can't figure out why TestHistogramConcurrency is timing out after 2 minutes :(

Julius Volz 169c8a68e1 Use godep with import rewriting for vendoring.
The new vendoring was produced by running:

    godep save -r ./examples/... ./prometheus/... ./text/... ./model/... ./extraction/...

Two things to note:

- "extraction/processor0_0_{1,2}_test.go" imported a package from
  "github.com/prometheus/prometheus", all for just one tiny testing
  function. To not have to deal with a circular vendoring dependency, I
  simply replaced the usage of the function by some in-line logic.

- godep grouped the rewritten imports slightly differently for some
  reason, but at least the standard library imports are still in a
  separate section. Not sure if it's worth manually keeping our old
  import grouping scheme or if we should simply use that godep-generated
  one.

Bjoern Rabenstein 15c9ded5a3 Fix the summary decay by avoiding the Merge method.
This makes the Observe method of summaries more expensive. :-(

Bjoern Rabenstein 159e96f6c7 Allow error reporting during metrics collection and simplify Register().
Both are interface changes I want to get in before public
announcement. They only break rare usage cases, and are always easy to
fix, but still we want to avoid breaking changes after a wider
announcement of the project.

The change of Register() simply removes the return of the Collector,
which nobody was using in practice. It was just bloating the call
syntax. Note that this is different from RegisterOrGet(), which is
used at various occasions where you want to register something that
might or might not be registered already, but if it is, you want the
previously registered Collector back (because that's the relevant
one).

WRT error reporting: I first tried the obvious way of letting the
Collector methods Describe() and Collect() return error. However, I
had to conclude that that bloated _many_ calls and their handling in
very obnoxious ways. On the other hand, the case where you actually
want to report errors during registration or collection is very
rare. Hence, this approach has the wrong trade-off. The approach taken
here might at first appear clunky but is in practice quite handy,
mostly because there is almost no change for the "normal" case of "no
special error handling", but also because it plays well with the way
descriptors and metrics are handled (via channels).

Explaining the approach in more detail:

- During registration / describe: Error handling was actually already
  in place (for invalid descriptors, which carry an error anyway). I
  only added a convenience function to create an invalid descriptor
  with a given error on purpose.

- Metrics are now treated in a similar way. The Write method returns
  an error now (the only change in interface). An "invalid metric" is
  provided that can be sent via the channel to signal that that metric
  could not be collected. It alse transports an error.

NON-GOALS OF THIS COMMIT:

This is NOT yet the major improvement of the whole registry part,
where we want a public Registry interface and plenty of modular
configurations (for error handling, various auto-metrics, http
instrumentation, testing, ...). However, we can do that whole thing
without breaking existing interfaces. For now (which is a significant
issue) any error during collection will either cause a 500 HTTP
response or a panic (depending on registry config). Later, we
definitely want to have a possibility to skip (and only report
somehow) non-collectible metrics instead of aborting the whole scrape.

Tobias Schmidt dbd48d666b Add ProcessCollector and GoCollector
This change adds two new collectors to the prometheus package which
export metrics about a given or the current process.

* ProcessCollector exports metrics about cpu time, vss, rss, fd usage as
  well as the start time of a given process.
* GoCollector exports currently only the number of active goroutines.
