//
// This header file defines the API for a low level library to sample hashtables
// and collect runtime statistics about them.
//
// `HashtablezSampler` controls the lifecycle of `HashtablezInfo` objects which
// store information about a single sample.
//
// `Record*` methods store information into samples.
// `Sample()` and `Unsample()` make use of a single global sampler with
// properties controlled by the flags hashtablez_enabled,
// hashtablez_sample_rate, and hashtablez_max_samples.
//
// WARNING
//
// Using this sampling API may cause sampled Swiss tables to use the global
// allocator (operator `new`) in addition to any custom allocator.  If you
// are using a table in an unusual circumstance where allocation or calling a
// linux syscall is unacceptable, this could interfere.
//
// This utility is internal-only. Use at your own risk.
