Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-1185:
---------------------------------------
bq.
Is there a way we could divorce names in Cassandra from names on the
filesystem? It just seems like an odd implementation specific thing.
You could, but I think this is a case where the cure would be worse than the
disease. It's rather nice to be able to map keyspace and column family names to
their respective locations in the filesystem, and I suspect that a lot of
people have come to rely on this.

> Key: CASSANDRA-1185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1185
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Eric Evans
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
