Ability to customize Flow name

[ryan-carlson]

The current implementation derives the Flow name from the job dependencies. The Flow name uses the name of the last job in the flow. It would be preferable to allow this to be customizable.

Note: The workaround solution is to add name the last step to match the desired flow name.

yes, it would be great to have such customization

I also need such customization.

curious how this customization could contribute?

[xunnanxu]

@kunkun-tang it would be nice if:

1. allow flow name to be changed via UI (not great for automation)
2. or, allow user to specify flow metadata like
   flow-name: myFlow
   and use that as the flow name if this is specified in leaf node or throw an error if specified in the middle of a flow (or wait until there's conflict)

hope that makes sense

Since 2013. Is there any ability to customize flow name?
I'm stuck here now in 2020.

You can name your flow whatever you want in the DSL.

Is there any example on how to configure them? I have googled some of Azkaban DSL keywords, but haven't found any of them, sir.
