Github user bowenli86 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4932 I would suggest another solution - rather than adding another interface 'DelimiterProvider', add `getDelimiter()` which returns '.' as an interface default method to `MetricReporter`. Any reporter impl classes that don't override it will use the default delimiter. BTW, is it better to have `String getDelimiter()` rather than `char getDelimiter()`? Because 1) Flink has to convert char to string anyway 2) the former one provides more flexibility in defining delimiters, e.g. as multi chars
