Toby White updated HBASE-1184:
------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
The attached patch fixes the issue.
It reverses the sense of the test, and simply tests that each character is not
a control character.
It also tidies up the error message slightly (removing the reference to ending
with colons, since that is tested in a separate check)
> 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!)
