Jeremy Hanna commented on CASSANDRA-1185:
-----------------------------------------

Is there a way we could divorce names in Cassandra from names on the 
filesystem?  It just seems like an odd implementation specific thing.

Maybe marking up special characters in a standard way?

I'm not sure why they are ties together in the first place though.

No matter what though validation and error messages are needed- I was just 
curious.

> Since keyspace and column family names are used to derive the directory and 
> filenames where data is stored, so some thought should be given to which 
> characters are legally allowed. Then, node-side validation should prevent the 
> creation of namespaces that contain these characters, and produce a 
> meaningful error message in the process.
