Thanks for confirming it. I expected this to be true but assumed I would only be sure when someone releases a product or blogs about an impending one.
I also assume freed from generating the basic metric and the lightweight recording infrastructure will free up resources for more extensive metric and analysis. It would also allow for more innovative exploration.
If I understand correctly it also provides some very helpful building block like high performance stacktrace and timing. I think fast reliable timing (the JVM is widely fractured in it's timer performance) would be helpful even for regular users like me.
You're totally correct. We (jClarity) will likely ditch our proprietary, hand rolled metrics gathering (which we built at great pain wince) in favour of FR. I'd be pretty surprised if all of the other vendors don't do something similar (Why NIH).
