History

beorn7 817a2396cb Name float values as "floats", not as "values" In the past, every sample value was a float, so it was fine to call a variable holding such a float "value" or "sample". With native histograms, a sample might have a histogram value. And a histogram value is still a value. Calling a float value just "value" or "sample" or "V" is therefore misleading. Over the last few commits, I already renamed many variables, but this cleans up a few more places where the changes are more invasive. Note that we do not to attempt naming in the JSON APIs or in the protobufs. That would be quite a disruption. However, internally, we can call variables as we want, and we should go with the option of avoiding misunderstandings. Signed-off-by: beorn7 <beorn@grafana.com>		2 years ago
