#include <grpc/support/time.h>

/* Keep rolling sums of a user-defined statistic (containing a number of
   measurements) over a a number of time intervals ("windows"). For example,
   you can use a window_stats object to answer questions such as
   "Approximately how many RPCs/s did I receive over the past minute, and
   approximately how many bytes did I send out over that period?".

   The type of data to record, and the time intervals to keep are specified
   when creating the object via a call to census_window_stats_create().

   A window's interval is divided into one or more "buckets"; the interval
   must be divisible by the number of buckets. Internally, these buckets
   control the granularity of window_stats' measurements. Increasing the
   number of buckets lets the object respond more quickly to changes in the
   overall rate of data added into the object, at the cost of additional
   memory usage.

   Here's some code which keeps one minute/hour measurements for two values
   (latency in seconds and bytes transferred), with each interval divided into
   4 buckets.

    typedef struct my_stat {
      double latency;
      int bytes;
    } my_stat;

    void add_my_stat(void* base, const void* addme) {
      my_stat* b = (my_stat*)base;
      const my_stat* a = (const my_stat*)addme;
      b->latency += a->latency;
      b->bytes += a->bytes;
    }

    void add_proportion_my_stat(double p, void* base, const void* addme) {
      (my_stat*)result->latency += p * (const my_stat*)base->latency;
      (my_stat*)result->bytes += p * (const my_stat*)base->bytes;
    }

    #define kNumIntervals 2
    #define kMinInterval 0
    #define kHourInterval 1
    #define kNumBuckets 4

    const struct census_window_stats_stat_info kMyStatInfo
        = { sizeof(my_stat), NULL, add_my_stat, add_proportion_my_stat };
    gpr_timespec intervals[kNumIntervals] = {{60, 0}, {3600, 0}};
    my_stat stat;
    my_stat sums[kNumIntervals];
    census_window_stats_sums result[kNumIntervals];
    struct census_window_stats* stats
        = census_window_stats_create(kNumIntervals, intervals, kNumBuckets,
                                     &kMyStatInfo);
    // Record a new event, taking 15.3ms, transferring 1784 bytes.
    stat.latency = 0.153;
    stat.bytes = 1784;
    census_window_stats_add(stats, gpr_now(GPR_CLOCK_REALTIME), &stat);
    // Get sums and print them out
    result[kMinInterval].statistic = &sums[kMinInterval];
    result[kHourInterval].statistic = &sums[kHourInterval];
    census_window_stats_get_sums(stats, gpr_now(GPR_CLOCK_REALTIME), result);
