Add raw support about statsite HOT 3 CLOSED

I think it's actually just a difference in naming. Any key/value pairs sent to star site are passed through directly without any aggregation. I think the only thing is that the key is prefixed with "kv." Is this the functionlity you are looking for?

If you want, I can alias the 'r' letter to mean key value as well.

You're correct. I misunderstood what I was asking for.

I think what I did mean, was if there could be any way to get some raw metric/timestamp/value passed through to graphite, similiar to what graphite gives you out of the box.

I looked through the code and it looks like theres some core functionality that would need to change. Do you have any opinions on adding something like this in or accepting a patch for it?

I think I see what you are saying now. You want to pass values directly through to graphite, not using the statsd protocol? There isn't a way to do this currently, and because statsite supports multiple sinks, it seems rather strange to do this anyways. Is there something in particular you are trying to do? Maybe we can support this in a different way?

Sending a key/value pair will send the metric and value, but uses the current timestamp. If you need to send a specific timestamp, that could be added using a @ similar to how sampling with counters works.

Let me know.
