Jim Klucar commented on ACCUMULO-241:
-------------------------------------
I agree with John's statement "I just hate arbitrary restrictions" I vote for
the blacklist approach. The current whitelist limits to ascii characters, which
seems to be an arbitrary restriction. Currently, many non-english languages are
left out, and whitelisting UTF-8 is probably too big of a space to make it
worth it.
> 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.
