A statsd client library implemented in Java. Allows for Java applications to easily communicate with statsd.
This version is forked from the upstream java-statsd-client project, adding support for Datadog extensions for use with dogstatsd.
This version also adds support for empty or null prefixes, to allow a client to send arbitrary statistic names.
The client jar is distributed via maven central, and can be downloaded here.
