Measures
Measure can be defined as "the determination or estimation of ratios of quantities1 or "the extent, dimensions, quantity, etc., of something, ascertained especially by comparison with a standard2.
Measures are the raw data that Resource Providers submit to Abacus. Each measure consists of multiple entries, each of them associated with a name and unit.
You can consider the Abacus project object store example where several measures can be found.
{
name: 'storage',
unit: 'BYTE'
},
{
name: 'light_api_calls',
unit: 'CALL'
},
{
name: 'heavy_api_calls',
unit: 'CALL'
}
For example, it is possible to submit to Abacus a measure that has 10 storage units (bytes) and 5 light API calls.
