Re: Functional design of quoted paths

[Julian Feinauer]

Hey Xiangwei,

that is an excellent suggestion (I discussed the same already with Xiangdong 
some weeks ago).
We mix a bit between Strings and Paths (and even inside paths we use strings 
and dynamic parsing too often).

So it would make sense to mee to follow your suggested approach with clear 
escape rules so that basically every string can be the name of a path / 
measurement.
This makes especially sense when importing data from external systems.
If you e.g. get device names from another system which allows dots then you 
cannot map it (bidirectional) to IoTDB.

Best
Julian
