Chesnay Schepler created FLINK-4206: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Metric names should alle special characters Key: FLINK-4206 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4206 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Metrics Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Chesnay Schepler Assignee: Chesnay Schepler Fix For: 1.1.0 Currently, the name of the metric is restricted to alphanumeric characters. This restriction was originally put in place to circumvent issues due to systems not supporting certain characters. However, this restriction does not make a lot of sense since for group names we don't enforce such a restriction. This also affects the integration of the Kafka metrics, so i suggest removing the restriction. >From now on it will be the responsibility of the reporter to make sure that >the metric identifier is supported by the external system. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
