Class Alias

src/query/expression/Alias.java:33–100

Returns an alias if provided or the original metric name if not. The alias may optionally contain a template for tag replacement so that tags are advanced to the metric name for systems that require it. (e.g. flatten a name for Graphite). @since 2.3
