public sealed class Distribution.Types.BucketOptions : IMessage<Distribution.Types.BucketOptions>, IEquatable<Distribution.Types.BucketOptions>, IDeepCloneable<Distribution.Types.BucketOptions>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
BucketOptions describes the bucket boundaries used to create a histogram
for the distribution. The buckets can be in a linear sequence, an
exponential sequence, or each bucket can be specified explicitly.
BucketOptions does not include the number of values in each bucket.
A bucket has an inclusive lower bound and exclusive upper bound for the
values that are counted for that bucket. The upper bound of a bucket must
be strictly greater than the lower bound. The sequence of N buckets for a
distribution consists of an underflow bucket (number 0), zero or more
finite buckets (number 1 through N - 2) and an overflow bucket (number N -
1). The buckets are contiguous: the lower bound of bucket i (i > 0) is the
same as the upper bound of bucket i - 1. The buckets span the whole range
of finite values: lower bound of the underflow bucket is -infinity and the
upper bound of the overflow bucket is +infinity. The finite buckets are
so-called because both bounds are finite.
