This package provides a full implementation of the ganglia protocol, including the ability to listen and report on metrics, metadata, and metadata requests.

Applications embed a {@link com.bigdata.ganglia.GangliaService} and participate in a ganglia network. The {@link com.bigdata.ganglia.GangliaService} provides hooks which an application can use to register {@link com.bigdata.ganglia.IGangliaMetricsCollector}s. Applications can provide metadata declarations for custom metrics by implementing the {@link com.bigdata.ganglia.IGangliaMetadataFactory} interface.
