Comment:

 The fix looks ok and ready for merge.
 (Was the initial implementation just chance or was there a reason for
 halting the import?)

 I'm wondering, if the actual issue isn't in metrics-lib.
 Shouldn't there be a method `finishReading` that halts the reading process
 on client request?  Clients shouldn't be forced to read all available
 descriptors.  Afaik, the ISE is just due to calling the statistics methods
 before all was read.  New ticket for metrics-lib?
