Description

Agree on and implement uniform metrics step name semantics which runners would adhere to.

Current discussion seems to point at a string with the pipeline graph path to the step's transform. Something along the lines of: "PBegin/SomeInputTransform/SomeParDo/...MyTransform.#Running_number_for_collisions".

Also agree on and implement metrics querying semantics. Current discussion seems to point at a substring or regex matching of steps on given string input.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked dev list discussion and the original Jira BEAM-1344 for the unresolved context. Identify the runner and metrics-querying entry points that implement current step names, then define completion as an agreed naming scheme adopted by runners and matching semantics implemented for queries.
