I think you're on the right track here, but this moves shared memory access outside the mutex boundary. I think we need to refactor this method and goroutine closure to properly synchronize the errors and provide an accurate count of errors in the defer method. Likely this should be handled with an error channel, so we can collect all errors that occurred in the goroutine and remove shared memory access entirely.

What happens if the content of err is changed by another goroutine after this method? It seems like this could also be a partial error. As you mentioned, I’ve placed logic in defer to handle both scrape errors and single errors. What do you think of this approach?

Please take a look at the next commit.

This is looking better, definitely an improvement over the original code. Thanks for incorporating an error channel!

I'd like to take this commit once we get the CLA issue sorted, and we can further optimize/clean-up this concurrent section from there.
