HColumnDescriptor is a little too restrictive with family names
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1184
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1184
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Toby White
            Priority: Minor


HColumnDescriptor crrently requires of its family names that they be letters, 
digits, underscores or periods.

Character.isLetterOrDigit(b[i]) || b[i] == '_' || b[i] == '.'

It would be nice if it let rather more characters be used (personally, I'd like 
to use a hyphen!)
