It’d be helpful if the docs described error handling

[aviflax]

There’s no mention of what happens if an attempt to emit a metric fails, for example if, I dunno, maybe if the UDP socket is closed.

If an exception might be raised, it would be helpful if it was a specific exception subclass, something like Datadog::TransmissionError, so it could be rescued and handled specifically.

@aviflax I know this is quite late, but as the code stands no error is thrown - see https://github.com/DataDog/dogstatsd-ruby/blob/master/lib/datadog/statsd.rb#L434-L440

Thank you! I did see that; my point with this issue is that it'd be good for the docs to mention this so users don't have to go to the code to figure it out.
