/**
 * Defines a metric type and its schema. Once a metric descriptor is created,
 * deleting or altering it stops data collection and makes the metric type's
 * existing data unusable.
 *
 * @property {string} name
 *   The resource name of the metric descriptor.
 *
 * @property {string} type
 *   The metric type, including its DNS name prefix. The type is not
 *   URL-encoded.  All user-defined metric types have the DNS name
 *   `custom.googleapis.com` or `external.googleapis.com`.  Metric types should
 *   use a natural hierarchical grouping. For example:
 *
 *       "custom.googleapis.com/invoice/paid/amount"
 *       "external.googleapis.com/prometheus/up"
 *       "appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies"
 *
 * @property {Object[]} labels
 *   The set of labels that can be used to describe a specific
 *   instance of this metric type. For example, the
 *   `appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies` metric
 *   type has a label for the HTTP response code, `response_code`, so
 *   you can look at latencies for successful responses or just
 *   for responses that failed.
 *
 *   This object should have the same structure as [LabelDescriptor]{@link google.api.LabelDescriptor}
 *
 * @property {number} metricKind
 *   Whether the metric records instantaneous values, changes to a value, etc.
 *   Some combinations of `metric_kind` and `value_type` might not be supported.
 *
 *   The number should be among the values of [MetricKind]{@link google.api.MetricKind}
 *
 * @property {number} valueType
 *   Whether the measurement is an integer, a floating-point number, etc.
 *   Some combinations of `metric_kind` and `value_type` might not be supported.
 *
 *   The number should be among the values of [ValueType]{@link google.api.ValueType}
 *
 * @property {string} unit
 *   The units in which the metric value is reported. It is only applicable
 *   if the `value_type` is `INT64`, `DOUBLE`, or `DISTRIBUTION`. The `unit`
 *   defines the representation of the stored metric values.
 *
 *   Different systems may scale the values to be more easily displayed (so a
 *   value of `0.02KBy` _might_ be displayed as `20By`, and a value of
 *   `3523KBy` _might_ be displayed as `3.5MBy`). However, if the `unit` is
 *   `KBy`, then the value of the metric is always in thousands of bytes, no
 *   matter how it may be displayed..
 *
 *   If you want a custom metric to record the exact number of CPU-seconds used
 *   by a job, you can create an `INT64 CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is
 *   `s{CPU}` (or equivalently `1s{CPU}` or just `s`). If the job uses 12,005
 *   CPU-seconds, then the value is written as `12005`.
 *
 *   Alternatively, if you want a custome metric to record data in a more
 *   granular way, you can create a `DOUBLE CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is
 *   `ks{CPU}`, and then write the value `12.005` (which is `12005/1000`),
 *   or use `Kis{CPU}` and write `11.723` (which is `12005/1024`).
 *
 *   The supported units are a subset of [The Unified Code for Units of
 *   Measure](http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html) standard:
 *
 *   **Basic units (UNIT)**
 *
 *   * `bit`   bit
 *   * `By`    byte
 *   * `s`     second
 *   * `min`   minute
 *   * `h`     hour
 *   * `d`     day
 *
 *   **Prefixes (PREFIX)**
 *
 *   * `k`     kilo    (10^3)
 *   * `M`     mega    (10^6)
 *   * `G`     giga    (10^9)
 *   * `T`     tera    (10^12)
 *   * `P`     peta    (10^15)
 *   * `E`     exa     (10^18)
 *   * `Z`     zetta   (10^21)
 *   * `Y`     yotta   (10^24)
 *
 *   * `m`     milli   (10^-3)
 *   * `u`     micro   (10^-6)
 *   * `n`     nano    (10^-9)
 *   * `p`     pico    (10^-12)
 *   * `f`     femto   (10^-15)
 *   * `a`     atto    (10^-18)
 *   * `z`     zepto   (10^-21)
 *   * `y`     yocto   (10^-24)
 *
 *   * `Ki`    kibi    (2^10)
 *   * `Mi`    mebi    (2^20)
 *   * `Gi`    gibi    (2^30)
 *   * `Ti`    tebi    (2^40)
 *   * `Pi`    pebi    (2^50)
 *
 *   **Grammar**
 *
 *   The grammar also includes these connectors:
 *
 *   * `/`    division or ratio (as an infix operator). For examples,
 *            `kBy/{email}` or `MiBy/10ms` (although you should almost never
 *            have `/s` in a metric `unit`; rates should always be computed at
 *            query time from the underlying cumulative or delta value).
 *   * `.`    multiplication or composition (as an infix operator). For
 *            examples, `GBy.d` or `k{watt}.h`.
 *
 *   The grammar for a unit is as follows:
 *
 *       Expression = Component { "." Component } { "/" Component } ;
 *
 *       Component = ( [ PREFIX ] UNIT | "%" ) [ Annotation ]
 *                 | Annotation
 *                 | "1"
 *                 ;
 *
 *       Annotation = "{" NAME "}" ;
 *
 *   Notes:
 *
 *   * `Annotation` is just a comment if it follows a `UNIT`. If the annotation
 *      is used alone, then the unit is equivalent to `1`. For examples,
 *      `{request}/s == 1/s`, `By{transmitted}/s == By/s`.
 *   * `NAME` is a sequence of non-blank printable ASCII characters not
 *      containing `{` or `}`.
 *   * `1` represents a unitary [dimensionless
 *      unit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity) of 1, such
 *      as in `1/s`. It is typically used when none of the basic units are
 *      appropriate. For example, "new users per day" can be represented as
 *      `1/d` or `{new-users}/d` (and a metric value `5` would mean "5 new
 *      users). Alternatively, "thousands of page views per day" would be
 *      represented as `1000/d` or `k1/d` or `k{page_views}/d` (and a metric
 *      value of `5.3` would mean "5300 page views per day").
 *   * `%` represents dimensionless value of 1/100, and annotates values giving
 *      a percentage (so the metric values are typically in the range of 0..100,
 *      and a metric value `3` means "3 percent").
 *   * `10^2.%` indicates a metric contains a ratio, typically in the range
 *      0..1, that will be multiplied by 100 and displayed as a percentage
 *      (so a metric value `0.03` means "3 percent").
 *
 * @property {string} description
 *   A detailed description of the metric, which can be used in documentation.
 *
 * @property {string} displayName
 *   A concise name for the metric, which can be displayed in user interfaces.
 *   Use sentence case without an ending period, for example "Request count".
 *   This field is optional but it is recommended to be set for any metrics
 *   associated with user-visible concepts, such as Quota.
 *
 * @property {Object} metadata
 *   Optional. Metadata which can be used to guide usage of the metric.
 *
 *   This object should have the same structure as [MetricDescriptorMetadata]{@link google.api.MetricDescriptorMetadata}
 *
 * @property {number} launchStage
 *   Optional. The launch stage of the metric definition.
 *
 *   The number should be among the values of [LaunchStage]{@link google.api.LaunchStage}
 *
 * @typedef MetricDescriptor
 * @memberof google.api
 * @see [google.api.MetricDescriptor definition in proto format]{@link https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/api/metric.proto}
