Rename otel/label -> otel/attribute (#1541)
* Rename otel/label -> otel/attr

Leave the imported name alone, to avoid a large diff and conflicts

* Better import comment

* Update CHANGELOG.md

Co-authored-by: Tyler Yahn <MrAlias@users.noreply.github.com>

* otel/attr -> otel/attribute

* Missed the changelog entry

* Get rid of import renaming

* Merge remaining conflicts

Package reducer implements a metrics Processor component to reduce labels.
This package is currently in a pre-GA phase. Backwards incompatible changes
may be introduced in subsequent minor version releases as we work to track the
evolving OpenTelemetry specification and user feedback.
The metrics Processor component this package implements applies a
`attribute.Filter` to each processed `export.Accumulation` to remove labels before
passing the result to another Processor. This Processor can be used to reduce
inherent dimensionality in the data, as a way to control the cost of
collecting high cardinality metric data.
For example, to compose a push controller with a reducer and a basic
metric processor:
type someFilter struct{
// configuration for this filter
// ...
}
func (someFilter) LabelFilterFor(_ *metric.Descriptor) attribute.Filter {
return func(label kv.KeyValue) bool {
// return true to keep this label, false to drop this label
// ...
}
}
func setupMetrics(exporter export.Exporter) (stop func()) {
basicProcessor := basic.New(
simple.NewWithExactDistribution(),
exporter,
)
reducerProcessor := reducer.New(someFilter{...}, basicProcessor)
pusher := push.New(
reducerProcessor,
exporter,
pushOpts...,
)
pusher.Start()
global.SetMeterProvider(pusher.Provider())
return pusher.Stop
