/// # Purpose {#bdlm_metricsadapter-purpose}
/// Provide an abstract interface for metrics registration mechanisms.
///
/// @deprecated  This component is not ready for public use.
///
/// # Classes {#bdlm_metricsadapter-classes}
///
/// -  bdlm::MetricsAdapter: protocol class for registration and de-registration
///
/// # Description {#bdlm_metricsadapter-description}
/// This component provides the base-level protocol (pure abstract
/// interface) class, `bdlm::MetricsAdapter`, that serves as a ubiquitous
/// vocabulary type for various metrics registration mechanisms.  Clients of
/// this abstract base class will typically accept a supplied metrics adapter
/// (often at construction) and use its `registerCollectionCallback` and
/// `removeCollectionCallback` methods to register a collection object with a
/// monitoring mechanism and remove a collection object from monitoring,
/// respectively.
///
/// The `registerCollectionCallback` method supplies a metric descriptor and a
/// collection callback to a monitoring system.  Specific monitoring systems may
/// adapt the provided metric descriptor attributes to their needs.
///
/// ## Thread Safety {#bdlm_metricsadapter-thread-safety}
///
///
/// This class is *minimally* *thread-safe* (see {@ref bsldoc_glossary |Minimally
/// Thread-Safe}).
///
/// ## Usage {#bdlm_metricsadapter-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Implementing the bdlm::MetricsAdapter Protocol {#bdlm_metricsadapter-example-1-implementing-the-bdlm-metricsadapter-protocol}
///
///
/// This example demonstrates an elided concrete implementation of the
/// `bdlm::MetricsAdapter` protocol that allows for registering metric callback
/// functions with a monitoring system.
///
/// First, we define the interface of a limited `my_MetricsMonitor` class that
/// allows only one metric collection function to be registered:
/// @code
/// /// This class implements a metric monitoring system.
/// class my_MetricsMonitor {
///
///     // ...
///
///     // DATA
///     bdlm::Metric                   d_value;     // metric supplied to
///                                                 // 'd_callback'
///
///     bsl::string                    d_name;      // register metric name
///
///     bdlm::MetricsAdapter::Callback d_callback;  // registered callback
///
///   public:
///     // ...
///
///     // MANIPULATORS
///
///     /// Register the specified `callback` with this monitoring system,
///     /// using the specified `name` for display purposes.  Return a
///     /// callback handle to be used with `removeCallback`.
///     bdlm::MetricsAdapter::CallbackHandle registerCallback(
///                             const bsl::string&                   name,
///                             const bdlm::MetricsAdapter::Callback callback);
///
///     /// Remove the callback associated with the specified `handle`.
///     /// Return 0 on success, or a non-zero value if `handle` cannot be
///     /// found.
///     int removeCallback(const bdlm::MetricsAdapter::CallbackHandle& handle);
///
///     /// Invoke the registered callback.
///     void update();
///
///     // ACCESSORS
///
///     /// Return the name of the registered metric.
///     const bsl::string& name() const;
///
///     /// Return the value computed by the invocations of the registered
///     /// callback.
///     double value() const;
/// };
/// @endcode
/// Then, we implement the functions:
/// @code
/// // MANIPULATORS
/// bdlm::MetricsAdapter::CallbackHandle my_MetricsMonitor::registerCallback(
///                              const bsl::string&                   name,
///                              const bdlm::MetricsAdapter::Callback callback)
/// {
///     d_value    = bdlm::Metric::Gauge(0.0);
///     d_name     = name;
///     d_callback = callback;
///
///     return 1;
/// }
///
/// int my_MetricsMonitor::removeCallback(
///                         const bdlm::MetricsAdapter::CallbackHandle& handle)
/// {
///     (void)handle;
///     return 0;
/// }
///
/// void my_MetricsMonitor::update()
/// {
///     d_callback(&d_value);
/// }
///
/// // ACCESSORS
/// const bsl::string& my_MetricsMonitor::name() const
/// {
///     return d_name;
/// }
///
/// double my_MetricsMonitor::value() const
/// {
///     return d_value.theGauge();
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Next, we define the implementation class of the `bdlm::MetricsAdapter`
/// protocol:
/// @code
/// /// This class implements an interface for clients and suppliers of
/// /// metrics adapters.
/// class my_MetricsAdapter : public bdlm::MetricsAdapter {

///                             const bdlm::MetricDescriptor& metricDescriptor,

///     /// found.
///     int removeCollectionCallback(const CallbackHandle& handle);
/// };
/// @endcode
/// Then, we implement the methods of `myMetricsAdapter`:
/// @code

///                             const bdlm::MetricDescriptor& metricDescriptor,
///                             const Callback&               callback)
/// {
///     bsl::string name = metricDescriptor.metricNamespace() + '.'
///                      + metricDescriptor.metricName() + '.'
///                      + metricDescriptor.objectTypeName() + '.'
///                      + metricDescriptor.objectTypeAbbreviation() + '.'
///                      + metricDescriptor.objectIdentifier();
///
///     return d_monitor_p->registerCallback(name, callback);

///
/// int my_MetricsAdapter::removeCollectionCallback(
///                         const bdlm::MetricsAdapter::CallbackHandle& handle)
/// {
///     return d_monitor_p->removeCallback(handle);
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Next, we provide the metric method, `my_metric`, which will compute its

/// @code
/// void my_metric(BloombergLP::bdlm::Metric *value)
/// {
///     *value = value->theGauge() + 1.0;
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Then, we instantiate a `my_MetricsMonitor` and a `myMetricsAdapter`:
/// @code
///     my_MetricsMonitor monitor;
///     my_MetricsAdapter adapter(&monitor);
/// @endcode
/// Next, we construct a `bdlm::MetricDescriptor`, register the `my_metric`
/// method with the `monitor`, and verify the `monitor` has the expected name
/// for the metric:
/// @code
///     bdlm::MetricDescriptor descriptor("a", "b", 1, "c", "d", "e");
///
///     adapter.registerCollectionCallback(descriptor, my_metric);
///
///     assert(monitor.name() == "a.b.c.d.e");
/// @endcode
/// Now, we invoke the `update` method a few times:
/// @code
///     monitor.update();
///     monitor.update();
///     monitor.update();
/// @endcode
/// Finally, we verify the metric has the expected value:
/// @code
///     assert(monitor.value() == 3.0);
/// @endcode
