// An Observation is a piece of data sent from a Cobalt client to the Cobalt
// server as input to a Report.
//
// Observations are associated with a specific Metric. They are built on a
// Fuchsia client based on the Events logged for that Metric. Observations are
// associated with a specific Report. They are built for the purpose of
// generating that Report. They are transmitted from the Fuchsia client to
// the Cobalt server where they are aggregated and analyzed in order to generate
// the Report.
//
// Observations may store their data using special privacy-preserving encodings.
// The specification of how to do this is part of the definition of a Report.
// Observations are built for a particular Report and so use an encoding
// appropriate for that Report.
//
// There are different types of Observations that are appropriate for different
// types of Metrics and different types of Reports.
//
// An Observation is always transmitted and stored along with
// some ObservationMetadata that describes, among other things, which Metric
// and which Report it is for and on which day the Observation was formed.
//
// Observations are transmitted from the client to the server encrypted, inside
// the |ciphertext| field of an EncryptedMessage. Many encrypted Observations
// are transmitted together inside of an ObservationBatch.
