Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-914:
--------------------------------------
This issue and CASSANDRA-677 are duplicates, and gabriele renzi's patch
attached here is identical to Roger Schildmeijer's first patch in that issue.
The problem with this approach is that it allows hyphens in keyspace and column
family names, which is probably a no-no (at least for column families).
However, after thinking about this more, it's probably worth applying since
it's really not the place of the cli to be the arbiter of allowable column
family names, and more people are probably tripped up by the reported issue.
It would be nice to see some of this irritating nits fixed once and for all,
but maybe CASSANDRA-912 will manage that.

> the cli syntax does not allow a dash in an identifier, which means that it is
> impossible to connect to a hostname such as foo-bar.com.
> It also forbids it in keyspace and column family names while it seems they
> are both supported by cassandra itself.
> Adding "_" as an allowed "identifier" character seems to fix both problems. I
> think the grammar is still broken in that it allows "_" in hostnames, but
> that seems a non issue.
