`+Inf` is added automatically.
If your Prometheus server is enabled to scrape native histograms (v2.40.0+),
then you can set the `native_histogram_bucket_factor` to configure precision of the
buckets in the sparse histogram. More about this in the original [client_golang docs](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/blob/449b46435075e6e069e05af920fe028b941033cf/prometheus/histogram.go#L399-L430).
Also, a configuration of the maximum number of buckets can be set with `native_histogram_max_buckets`, this
avoids the histograms to grow too large in memory. More about this in the original [client_golang docs](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/blob/449b46435075e6e069e05af920fe028b941033cf/prometheus/histogram.go#L443-L467).
`observer_type` is only used when the statsd metric type is a timer, histogram, or distribution.
`buckets` is only used when the statsd metric type is one of these, and the `observer_type` is set to `histogram`.

There is a cache used to improve the performance of the metric mapping, that can greatly improvement performance.
The cache has a default maximum of 1000 unique statsd metric names -> prometheus metrics mappings that it can store.
This maximum can be adjust using the `statsd.cache-size` flag.
This maximum can be adjusted using the `statsd.cache-size` flag.
If the maximum is reached, entries are by default rotated using the [least recently used replacement policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#Least_recently_used_(LRU)). This strategy is optimal when memory is constrained as only the most recent entries are retained.
