I am using Dropwizard meter to monitor number of times a method is called. A Dropwizard meter among other things records the count for a metric. I assumed that a count will only go upwards, but in my particular scenario, I noticed that there were a few instances, where the counter actually goes down and them comes back up again. Why might this happen? Thanks!
