Charles Wimmer commented on HADOOP-10727:
-----------------------------------------
Other systems that emit metrics to graphite use a similar process. For
example, collectd.
https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_write_graphite
We should consider making the escape character configurable.
> GraphiteSink metric names should not contain "."

> Sometimes the names of the metrics sent to Graphite contain "." in them (such
> as hostnames). Graphite interpret these dots as a separator for directories
> causing long directory hierarchies. It would be easier to replace them to "_"
> in order to have easier to read metric names.
