@jsuereth @reyang I'm moving this PR to draft. I think the PR bites off too much. I think I'm going to send instead a PR only about metric namespaces first, since that is a less impactful change (and addresses the original issue open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#212).

I'll open a new issue to discuss applying this to metric names also, as that will affect lots of Counter metrics, and I don't think it's immediately clear how we would rename these:

  • faas.coldstarts
  • faas.errors
  • faas.invocations
  • faas.timeouts
  • http.server.active_requests
  • hw.errors
  • hw.*.errors
  • hw.tape_drive.operations
  • process.paging.faults
  • system.paging.faults
  • system.paging.operations
  • system.disk.operations
  • system.network.packets
  • system.network.errors
  • system.network.connections
