More informative task ids? #20

Open dchackett opened 7 years ago

dchackett commented 7 years ago

Currently, tasks are ordered by a sequential task_id. In principle, I think it's possible to use more informative task_ids, like 'copy-486' or 'hmc-12' or even 'hmc-1-12' where 1 indicates a stream or something.

Is this a good idea? Should the tools be good enough that you're never looking at task ids? Is there some tradeoff versus using sequential numerical ids that I am not aware of?
