```go

go func() {
// execute the metricfetcher to get its corresponding clouwatch form
namespace, name, value, metaInfo, e := metricFetcher()
// if err is not nil, accummulate it and error and later instead of failing fast...
// So, that other metrics can be collected instead of failing completely for failure in collecting one/some
// of the metrics
if e != nil {
if err == nil {
err = e
return
} else {
err = fmt.Errorf("%s.%s", err, e.Error())
return
}
}
fmt.Println(namespace, name, value, metaInfo, e)
// Push the metric just collected
e = PushMetricToCloudWatch(namespace, name, value, metaInfo)
// If error accummulate error
if e != nil {
// ToDo(@Anmol Babu) handle the error concatenation better
if err == nil {
err = e
return
} else {
err = fmt.Errorf("%s.%s", err, e.Error())

// Signal completion of one routine to be waited on
