The size and range of timing measures vary a lot throughout the platform, from job measures in the range between whole seconds and hours, to WANCache callbacks that are measures between 0.1 and 100 milliseconds. To handle cases where a custom range of histogram buckets are needed, there should be a metric type that generates histograms based on a hardcoded set of buckets. This task is complete when MediaWiki StatsLib can produce histograms in a set of counters following [[ https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/histograms/ | guidance provided by the Prometheus team. ]]
