/**
 *
 * a measure of system parameter at the current moment. Each metric is identified by name.
 * In general case, a metric just reflects its (almost) real-time value and is not responsible for maintaining its historical data.
 * One that needs to build series of a metric values for statistical/analytic purposes should query the value and store it for further processing.
 * Metrics can be of different types - counters, timers etc.
 * The initial service implementation supports simple (flat) counters only.
