Re: pcp updates: dynamic container switching prototype

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This is the prototype code referenced here, of course:

One thing I forgot to mention in the commit message was that this
code includes a change to pmdapmcd to simplify handling of the
"pmcd.client.whoami" metric.  Instead of a separate table, with
independent grow/slot-reuse rules, that is rolled into the other
(per-context) table where the container, and other per-context
state already lived.

I believe the separate table existed because that metric predated
pmdaprocs per-client-context support, hence this simplification of
the pmdapmcd code is a nice little side-effect.

cheers.
