1This empty folder exists to harmonize "built-in" metrics
2work with the "metric extension" functionality of trace processor.
3
4Essentially by adding a protos folder, we can pass
5src/trace_processor/metrics as an extension path to shell to
6override all built-in metrics. This means we can change the SQL
7files *without* needing to recompile trace processor.
8
9In the future, we might also move the protos here but that would
10be a bigger change which would need coordination across repos (
11e.g. Chrome because of the metrics autoroller for Chrome metrics).
