> While working HADOOP-6728, I noticed that our metrics naming style is all over the place:
> * Capitalized camel case: e.g., "FilesCreated" in namenode metrics and some rpc metrics
> * uncapitalized camel case: e.g, "threadsBlocked" in jvm metrics and some rpc metrics
> * lowercased underscored: e.g., "bytes_written" in datanode metrics and mapreduce metrics
> Let's make them consistent. How about uncapitalized camel case? My main reason for the camel case: some backends have limits on the name length and underscore is wasteful.
> Once we have a consistent naming style we can do:
> @Metric("Number of INodes created") MutableCounterLong filesCreated;
> instead of the more redundant:
> @Metric({"FilesCreated", "Number of INodes created"}) MutableCounterLong filesCreated;
