@nvllsvm likes the interface that https://statsd.readthedocs.io/ exposes
and I agree. I mimicked this interface on the lower-level Connector. I
left the sprockets.mixins.metrics style on the tornado helpers for
compat reasons. You can always use `self.statsd_connector.incr()` in
your request handlers if you prefer the other interface.
I snuck in a call to verify that the connected event is set before the
call to _process_metric. This closes a small loophole where the
transport could be None inside of _process_metric.
