We've been working toward separating our logger from our statsd client.
This is generally a good idea; it's always been a little weird to have
our special-case loggers that would allow you to *also* increment some
counters.
The end goal is to take a bunch of places that look like
logger = utils.get_logger(conf)
...
logger.info(...)
logger.increment(...)
and turn them into something more like
logger = logs.get_adapted_logger(conf)
stats = statsd_client.get_statsd_client(conf, logger=logger)
...
logger.info(...)
stats.increment(...)
Take a lesson from logging: callers don't need to know whether the
log_level is high enough that their message will be logged, or even
whether logging is enabled at all. Code wanting to emit stats shouldn't
need to know whether statsd collection has been configured, either.
