[DISCUSS] Forwarding Kafka's metrics groups

Hi,

When answering a user question in ML[1] I spotted that when we forward
Kafka's metrics we use only the name of the metric[2]. I was wondering
if we should use both the metric name and group? I think it would make
it easier to track back a particular metric.

Moreover we still register Kafka's metrics both in the dedicated group
"KafkaConsumer", as well as in the subtasks group.[3] Can we remove it now?

Best,

Dawid

I agree that we can remove the double registered metrics. Maybe we can make
this part of the effort to change the connectors to conform to FLIP-33.

What do you think?

Thanks,
