Metricflow support on dbt core

[ggam]

#256 added support for dbt 1.6 metrics (Metricflow), but only for dbt Cloud, by querying a GraphQL endpoint.

For dbt core, metrics SQL can be obtained via mf query --metrics xxxx --explain (https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/metricflow-commands#additional-query-examples). There's also and additional semantic_manifest.json artifact (https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/sl-manifest) equivalent to the GraphQL metadata.

Supporting dbt core Metricflow would be a great addition.

Hey @ggam,

Thank you so much for submitting this ticket. I can confirm that our team is discussing internally the required changes to also support the metrics definition in dbt Core>=1.6.

We'll update this ticket once the changes are properly added. Thank you!

Great to know, thanks!
