1881297 - Consider optimizing for single-sample accumulations to `_distribution` metrics

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Data Platform and Tools :: Glean: SDK, enhancement)

Description

[Chris H-C :chutten|PTO (back Jan 5)]

Single-sample accumulations to metrics of *_distribution types have turned out to be pretty common in Gecko. There are just so many different things that do and should do their own timing, and so many counted things that accumulate one count at a time. (If you look at the recent GVST migrations, you'll find many examples).

Unfortunately, the Glean SDK does not yet offer optimized single-sample APIs for its *_distribution types. Which means needing to use list objects in the host languages in many cases. We can do better.
