[to reviewer] ConsumeMetrics will return an error, I don't think we can return a partial error here. The valid metric data points will be published, and invalid ones will be dropped.

I'm wondering if you can elaborate on this. Is there a reason why you cannot use a PartialSuccess and indicate the number of points rejected?

It looks like it handles errors the same for histograms as it does for other metric types, so, this is probably irrelevant.

pushMetrics returns an error, but PartialSuccess is not an error. I am not aware of a way to meaningfully return to caller to indicate a partial success in an exporter. Even in otelarrowexporter it returns a nil error if partial success happens.
The handling in this PR takes a different route. If it drops any data points, it returns an explicit error. We may revisit in the future whether this is desirable.

Thanks for the reminder about dynamic template in bulk request. Yes, we'll need it, but the scope is a bit larger / different to this PR. I'll do it in a follow up.
It is the test in exporter_test, which works e2e from an exporter PoV, not exactly e2e collector test. I've updated the PR description to reflect that. |
