<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;">tbh, i've been using them interchangeably -- i don't know if they are logically different. i believe gnocchi uses 'metric' term while current api uses 'meter' so
we don't really have a common usage in api either. if i were to choose one, i'd lean more to using 'metric'.<br>
