Only a bug fix to enable DogStatsD metrics

Coach Bill Campbell

A couple small bug fixes:

1. If you're using compressed payloads, let's make sure the metric is accurate. Issue
2. If you're using compressed payloads, don't panic if you're pulling from a blank key. Issue

Compiled with Go 1.6.1.

Alpha Go

A few small changes related to the WriteFile function:

1. Move the code that chowns the final file into it's own function. Commit
2. Move the file into place with os.Rename instead of using ioutil.WriteFile. Issue PR
3. Make sure to chown the file before the rename - that way there's no more changes to that file once it's in place. Commit

Bernie Takes Michigan

Not a lot of changes this release.

1. Lots of documentation updates and small test cleanups from open sourcing.
2. Made the -v command a little nicer. Issue
3. Made it possible to go get -u -v github.com/Datadog/kvexpress Commit
4. Add a log line that warns if you're pulling from a blank key. Issue
5. kvexpress can now create missing directories rather than throw an error. Issue

Compiled with Go 1.6.

Chmod is your Friend

This release fixes a significant bug:

If the desired permissions for the file are different - kvexpress will make sure they conform. Issue, Commit

Who knew that ioutil.WriteFile only sets the desired permissions if it's a new file? I didn't.

Microseconds R Us

Pretty small.

1. Fixed a small bug that only happened when you ran kvexpress without any options. #73
2. Refactored the Consul connection to be more resilient and retry. PR
3. Added metrics around those reconnection attempts. Code
4. Added microsecond precision to the timestamps generated by Log() Code

Happy New Year!

A few new features, some refactoring and a couple bug fixes. Highlights are:

1. Added lock and unlock commands. Lock, Unlock
2. Added some output when there's a panic worthy event. Code
3. Added some unit testing via go test and integration testing via basht. 1, 2, 3, Integration
4. Lots of small refactors. Consistency, Refactor key paths, Removed GetRaw(),
5. AutoEnable() sets up some standard config automatically. Commit
6. Add output on kvexpress in when the file is too short. Commit
7. Send anonymous token to Consul by default. Commit

This has been running in our staging environment for 4 days now - it's good to go to prod.

Follow Friday

Some small fixes and refactoring:

1. Strip all leading slashes. #60.
2. Add --verbose for some extra logging. #61
3. Refactoring out some needless passing around of some globally available variables. #58 #59

Holiday Party Express

A whole bunch of cleanup and a few features:

1. Added kvexpress.panic metrics for operations that should have panicked. Makes Consul problems NOT impact a Chef run negatively.
2. Added a raw command to pull any data out of Consul. Code
3. Added -z compression option to allow us to make KV storage more efficient if required. Code
4. Added the copy command. Code
5. Refactor out the extra package that wasn't needed. Code
6. Cleanup and prepare code for review - do some things better - add some better internal docs.
