# Experimental Features | ||
|
||
The metric SDK contains features that have not yet stabilized in the OpenTelemetry specification. | ||
These features are added to the OpenTelemetry Go metric SDK prior to stabilization in the specification so that users can start experimenting with them and provide feedback. | ||
|
||
These feature may change in backwards incompatible ways as feedback is applied. | ||
See the [Compatibility and Stability](#compatibility-and-stability) section for more information. | ||
|
||
## Features | ||
|
||
- [Cardinality Limit](#cardinality-limit) | ||
|
||
### Cardinality Limit | ||
|
||
The cardinality limit is the hard limit on the number of metric streams that can be collected for a single instrument. | ||
|
||
This experimental feature can be enabled by setting the `OTEL_GO_X_CARDINALITY_LIMIT` environment value. | ||
The value must be an integer value. | ||
All other values are ignored. | ||
|
||
If the value set is less than or equal to `0`, no limit will be applied. | ||
|
||
#### Examples | ||
|
||
Set the cardinality limit to 2000. | ||
|
||
```console | ||
export OTEL_GO_X_CARDINALITY_LIMIT=2000 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Set an infinite cardinality limit (functionally equivalent to disabling the feature). | ||
|
||
```console | ||
export OTEL_GO_X_CARDINALITY_LIMIT=-1 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Disable the cardinality limit. | ||
|
||
```console | ||
unset OTEL_GO_X_CARDINALITY_LIMIT | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Compatibility and Stability | ||
|
||
Experimental features do not fall within the scope of the OpenTelemetry Go versioning and stability [policy](../../VERSIONING.md). | ||
These features may be removed or modified in successive version releases, including patch versions. | ||
|
||
When an experimental feature is promoted to a stable feature, a migration path will be included in the changelog entry of the release. | ||
There is no guarantee that any environment variable feature flags that enabled the experimental feature will be supported by the stable version. | ||
If they are supported, they may be accompanied with a deprecation notice stating a timeline for the removal of that support. |
