@revans2 (cc @HeartSaVioR ) Regarding metadata, parseable metrics
names/paths, etc. what do you think of the following approach?
In a nutshell, make everything configurable (with sane defaults), something
along the lines:
METRICS_V2_PREFIX (String prepended to all metrics paths, replacing
hard-coded "storm.worker", etc. in current code)
METRICS_V2_PATH_DELIMITER (String/character used to separate metrics path,
replaces hard-coded "." in current code.
METRICS_V2_INVALID_NAME_REGEX (Regex that checks user-supplied metrics
names for disallowed characters. Would be used to prevent users from
inadvertently breaking up a path, for example by putting a "." in a metric name
when that's used as the delimiter.
Does that seem reasonable?
