Context: We’re using shared Document “Store” on S3 for all our GE runs.  
We do run GE in Airflow, and I noticed that finding specific runs in the store is almost impossible.  
Here is the issue:

We run Airflow jobs on a schedule, with certain parameters. Sometimes (e.g. when run failed) we have to re-run tasks. So, ideally, it would be great to have some sort of “job/params/hash\_or\_num” format for the validation results. Unfortunately, right now we only have a target table and some hash. Is it possible to customize run names?

You can customize this by setting run\_name - please use this notebook as a reference: [great\_expectations/validation\_playground.ipynb at develop · great-expectations/great\_expectations · GitHub](https://github.com/great-expectations/great_expectations/blob/develop/great_expectations/init_notebooks/pandas/validation_playground.ipynb)
