The MetricFilter that delegates to the CodahaleMetricWriter fails when taking several parallel requests to the same URL as it tries to update a gauge which causes a
registry.removefollowed byregistry.register. The latter fails if two threads callregisterback to back as the first will register and the second will fail as having already been registered.This pull request adds a test case showcasing the error and offers a fix by synchronizing on the registry. Synchronizing is not the best choice due to blocking in the parallism, but I do not see a better way to avoid the error scenario with the API that Codahale exposes.
