Bosun Support (aka OpenTSDB api)

[rbucker]

The current OpenTSDB seems to implement the socket version of messaging. It's very similar to the Graphite version. Looking at the Bosun documentation (said to support OpenTSDB 2.x) it appears to be limited to the http POST verb. I'm about to fork go-metrics in order to implement the feature but I wanted to get your opinion first.

Is Bosun supported? Is someone working on it? Would you accept a pull request?

@rbucker you come to this repo at an exciting time! Additional clients will not be accepted to the core go-metrics repository, as it creates a support nightmare as external APIs change and the maintainers have to try and make decisions about clients they don't use which potentially break things for people in communities to which the maintainers don't belong. As such, the decision was made to encourage "output" clients to be implemented as standalone repos. You can see the early examples here and here and the related issue at #121.

I'll gladly accept a pull request that updates the README to include bosun as a supported client with a link to the corresponding repository.

It's a crappy answer but I guess I'll have to live with it. I've created the wrapper for the project. I should have a working model tonight.

Sorry you find the solution "crappy." I look forward to adding a link to your repo when it is ready.
