Thanks for the heads up Jim,

I use wire (https://github.com/square/wire) for a number of my projects.
Unfortunately, it appears the map<string, string> syntax is too new for
wire. Looks like I have some rewriting to do. :(

Hi cf-dev,

In support of the epic to add tagging to CF metrics
<https://www.pivotaltracker.com/epic/show/2362529>, we recently added a
map to the dropsonde-protocol
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/dropsonde-protocol> envelope type. This
is non-breaking to metric users. However if you compile in dropsonde, this
message applies to you. This change forced us to update to a newer protobuf
compiler. If you are using the .proto definitions directly you will need to
update to the new compiler as well. You can find the latest protobuf
compiler release on github <https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases>.

Thanks, The Loggregator Team

You mention that this change is non-breaking for metrics users. I don't
know much about protobufs backwards compatibility story. Can you detail a
little more the implications from a compatibility standpoint with this
change? Some questions:

* If I compile the new protocol via protobuf3 can I still communicate with
an old loggregator deployment?
* If I don't use the new protocol can I talk I communicate with a
loggregator that is using the new protocol? (absent the new field of course)

Thanks,
Mike

Hopefully it's OK because you're bought into the value of tagged
metrics...
