--------------------------------------
This issue has popped up enough times on the mailing list that we should pay
attention to it and fix it. [~junrao], what plan would you suggest for fixing
this so that the change works for everyone?
> Stop using dashes AND underscores as separators in MBean names

> Key: KAFKA-1481
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1481
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Otis Gospodnetic
> Labels: patch
> Fix For: 0.8.2

>
> MBeans should not use dashes or underscores as separators because these
> characters are allowed in hostnames, topics, group and consumer IDs, etc.,
> and these are embedded in MBeans names making it impossible to parse out
> individual bits from MBeans.
> Perhaps a pipe character should be used to avoid the conflict.
> This looks like a major blocker because it means nobody can write Kafka 0.8.x
> monitoring tools unless they are doing it for themselves AND do not use
> dashes AND do not use underscores.
