I think what I mean is a little different (but maybe I've missed your
point.)
For example, when @james-sirota first reviewed this PR he was confused why
we would send data to Kafka. He thought it was a replacement for HBase, rather
than an addition to that. His mistake was totally understandable. Using terms
like 'kafka' and 'hbase', forces the user to under why they would want to send
profile data to HBase and why they would want to send profile data to Kafka.
It forces the user to know the implementation.
But I am saying that users should not need to know the implementation
details of the Profiler. They should just tell us if they want the profile
data stored for later and whether they want to triage the data from the
Profiler.
So I am suggesting that to be "user focused" we use terms that focus on the
functionality from the user's perspective, not terms based on how we've
implemented the Profiler. A user would tell us to 'triage' or not; they would
not tell us 'kafka' or not.
