Implementation of the metrics package that sends metric data to Ganglia. Programmers should not normally need to use this package directly. Instead they should use org.hadoop.metrics.

These are the implementation specific factory attributes (See ContextFactory.getFactory()):

contextName.servers
  Space and/or comma separated sequence of servers to which UDP messages should be sent.
contextName.period
  The period in seconds on which the metric data is sent to the server(s).
contextName.multicast
  Enable multicast for Ganglia
contextName.multicast.ttl
  TTL for multicast packets
contextName.units.recordName.metricName
  The units for the specified metric in the specified record.
contextName.slope.recordName.metricName
  The slope for the specified metric in the specified record.
contextName.tmax.recordName.metricName
  The tmax for the specified metric in the specified record.
contextName.dmax.recordName.metricName
  The dmax for the specified metric in the specified record.
