Metrics (Hive 1.2.2 API)

```
public class Metrics
extends Object
```
Metrics Subsystem - allows exposure of a number of named parameters/counters via jmx, intended to be used as a static subsystem Has a couple of primary ways it can be used: (i) Using the set and get methods to set and get named parameters (ii) Using the incrementCounter method to increment and set named parameters in one go, rather than having to make a get and then a set. (iii) Using the startScope and endScope methods to start and end named "scopes" that record the number of times they've been instantiated and amount of time(in milliseconds) spent inside the scopes.
