All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<MetricID>
```
public class MetricID
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<MetricID>
```
A unique identifier for Metric and Metadata that are registered in the MetricRegistry The MetricID contains:
- Name: (Required) The name of the metric.
- Tags: (Optional) The tags (represented by Tag objects) of the metric. The tag name must match the regex `[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*` (Ascii alphabet, numbers and underscore). The tag value may contain any UTF-8 encoded character.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`int`	`compareTo(MetricID other)` Compares two MetricID objects through the following steps: Compares the names of the two MetricIDs lexicographically. If the names are equal: Compare the number of tags. If the tag lengths are equal: Compare the Tags (sorted by the Tag's key value) a) Compare the Tag names/keys lexicographically b) If keys are equal, compare the Tag values lexicographically
`boolean`	`equals(java.lang.Object o)`
`java.lang.String`	`getName()` Returns the Metric name associated with this MetricID
`java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>`	`getTags()` Returns the underlying map containing the tags.
`Tag[]`	`getTagsAsArray()` Gets the list of tags as an array of `Tag` objects.
`java.util.List<Tag>`	`getTagsAsList()` Gets the list of tags as a list of `Tag` objects
`java.lang.String`	`getTagsAsString()` Gets the list of tags as a single String in the format 'key="value",key2="value2",...'

    Compares two MetricID objects through the following steps:
    1. Compares the names of the two MetricIDs lexicographically.
    2. If the names are equal: Compare the number of tags.
    3. If the tag lengths are equal: Compare the Tags (sorted by the Tag's key value)
      
      a) Compare the Tag names/keys lexicographically
      
      b) If keys are equal, compare the Tag values lexicographically
