Long living client

[iarief]

Hi, is it possible to call statsd.new only once and reuse that client for the whole application lifetime?

I seem to randomly run into sigsegv: segmentation violation panic on client.push after a few hour of running my application.

I'm using a singleton pattern with sync.once, if that helps

I'm new to statsd and I'm thinking of using this package. Is this an issue I should be concerned about? I was thinking of possibly writing a wrapper around this and passing the wrapper around to different parts of my project. Would I need to periodically refresh the client instance? Or is it expected that a new client instance should be created for each metric call?

Hey there,

One instance can definitely be used for all your application and this library is commonly used that way. A singleton pattern would do the job.

@iarief do you have more details on your sigsegv ?
