Forward-slash (/) is not an appropriate delimiter in all cases

[artemip]

Several services that I create are built using Finagle using something like

ServerBuilder().codec(ThriftServerFramedCodec())
               .name(serverName)
               .reportTo(new OstrichStatsReceiver)

and the statistics generated by Finagle (and sent to Ostrich) end up being named

ServerName/pending
ServerName/connections
etc...

In this case, the configuration's metric naming scheme (e.g. "gauges/ServerName/pending") breaks, and there is no way for me to be able to access those statistics.

Is there a way around this?

Good point!

Master now supports escaped slashes when matching metrics. You should be able to use gauges/ServerName\/pending in the configuration. (admittedly, that looks hideous)

[artemip]

Awesome, thank you! Any idea when this and the other changes should be formally released?

These changes aren't controversial, so we just released as 0.0.4.
