---------------------------------------

https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2418
The string would be constant though, for all types of the same metric.
Users would select the metric via "domain", let's say
"flink.taskmanager.task.operator.numBytesOut". Then the user would use the tags
to filter which operator and taskmanager they would be interested in, for
example filer "hostname=worker7 & operatorname=GeoTagMapper".
Does that make sense?
> Metric naming improvements
> --------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4245
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4245
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metrics
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
>
> A metric currently has two parts to it:
> - The name of that particular metric
> - The "scope" (or namespace), defined by the group that contains the metric.
> A metric group actually always implicitly has a map of naming "tags", like:
> - taskmanager_host : <some-hostname>
> - taskmanager_id : <id>
> - task_name : "map() -> filter()"
> We derive the scope from that map, following the defined scope formats.
> For JMX (and some users that use JMX), it would be natural to expose that map
> of tags. Some users reconstruct that map by parsing the metric scope. JMX, we
> can expose a metric like:
> - domain: "taskmanager.task.operator.io"
> - name: "numRecordsIn"
> - tags: { "hostname" -> "localhost", "operator_name" -> "map() at
> X.java:123", ... }
> For many other reporters, the formatted scope makes a lot of sense, since
> they think only in terms of (scope, metric-name).
> We may even have the formatted scope in JMX as well (in the domain), if we
> want to go that route.
> [~jgrier] and [~Zentol] - what do you think about that?
> [~mdaxini] Does that match your use of the metrics?
