Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-17457:
-----------------------------------------------
Look, I think you are forgetting one important fact and that is that this
feature is not enabled by default. We are not acting like we turned this on by
default and by doing so we penalize Chinese. It is just the way how it is
implemented, we are looking after fulfilling various classes of password
"qualities" - lower / upper case, special chars and numbers. In order to
support that for Chinese, somebody would need to come to the plugin and say:
'these characters are considered to be upper case in Chinese and these
characters are considered to be lower case in Chinese" - there are no "upper
and lower case characters" in Chinese at all - so the way how it is implemented
can not support the Chinese characters AT ALL and probably never will so your
"problem" basically does not exist.
If Chinese want to have their password validator, they would need to come up
with their own. We are not going to support absolutely every language which is
in existence "because". I do not want to discriminate anybody but this is
clearly a requirement I am not able to deliver even I try.
1) we can not do that, because a password might in theory consist of multiple
languages and we would need to know full character set of each language we are
going to support.
It _is_ supporting unicode characters. It is about fulfilling, as I mentioned,
various character classes, if you do "a棚4$.N;Sas4#" (for example), this will be
valid password, it is just "棚" is not going to fall in any "lower/uppser case,
number special char" category - it will basically contribute only to the
"legtht" constraint we require.
