UDP Write Buffers

[bstromski]

Do you plan on supporting buffering for UDP writes as well? I was really interested in this feature, but it doesn't help me much since we don't write to HTTP endpoints.

Thanks, Ben

How would you buffer UDP writes when you can't be sure that a UDP packet arrives? The nature of UDP is that its best effort and not guaranteed at all. If you need guaranteed writes, use TCP.

@gamerscomplete FWIW, udp is lossy sure but i am sure the OP has thought about that and taken it into account.... they probably don't care if few goes out of whack into /dev/null lalaland amongst the millions/billions of metrics they want to send and do it faster..
