David Medinets commented on ACCUMULO-241:
-----------------------------------------
If y'all decide to quote, please consider implementing ruby's alternate quote syntax. Using
alternative syntax can make strings more readable. See more information at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming/Alternate_quotes.
You can alleviate the 'A&B' issue if the syntax is AND(A,B) instead of the single-character
&. Granted, this is not want must programmers would want to see, though.
> Visibility labels should blacklist non-ASCII characters instead of whitelisting select
ASCII characters

> Key: ACCUMULO-241
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-241
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.3.5
> Reporter: John Vines
> Labels: visibility
> Fix For: 1.3.6
>
>
> We currently whitelist our visibility labels to only allow alphanumerics and a few select
delimiting characters. While we strive for human-readable labels, we should instead utilize
a blacklist approach where we disallow parentheses, ampersands, pipes, and any non-ASCII characters.
This will provide users with more flexibility in labeling, while still sticking to human readability.
