ThreadStats: metric type change

ThreadStats count metrics (produced from the increment/decrement and histogram methods) are now reported with the count/rate metric type, instead of gauge.
As a result, for the corresponding metrics:

1. Metric queries can use the .as_count()/ .as_rate() functions to switch between count and rate representations.
2. The default time aggregation uses a sum instead of an average. This may affect the representation of existing metric queries, thus, monitors' definitions and metric graphs.

See #242 (thanks @nilabhsagar) for more details.

• [BUGFIX] ThreadStats: Send count metrics with Rate metric type, #242 (thanks @nilabhsagar)
• [IMPROVEMENT] ThreadStats: Flush all metrics on exit, #221

Logging

dd.datadogpy logger name is no longer. datadog now uses logger names matching the project hierarchy, i.e.

• datadog.api
• datadog.statsd
• datadog.threadstats

By default, datadog loggers are set with a do-nothing handler (NullHandler).

To setup a different handler, one can add a handler

import logging

logging.getLogger("datadog").addHandler(...)
