[feature request] support for float values for metrics

[Slach]

Thanks for great utility! It helps me a lot for creating heatmaps

I have the following dataset:

and got following heatmap with 71 errors
with apply | rare heat -m "([^\t]+)\t([^\t]+)\t([^\t]+)" -e '{timeformat {time {1}} "15:04" }' -e "{2}" -e "{3}" --rows 50

i apply rare filter ... | grep -c "\."
and got 72

How to parse float numbers properly and how to allow measure selected metric as bytes?

For almost all aggregators right now, only aggregating integers (no decimals) isn't supported. I'm not sure which column is bytes in your screenshot and what the second column is... but you have a few options: you can use one of the round helpers if you're okay losing the decimal, eg. -e '{round {3}}' and look at bytesize helper if you'd like to make it more readable.

I will take a note, because you're not the first person to mention needing support for decimals for some content types, and I'll look at adding that as a new feature.
