Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-11438:
----------------------------------------
bq.Yes we won't have.
IMO that won't be good. We should allow any UTF-8 chars in labels. But we
should validate (like we did in past) labels in addLabels() and those in
Authorizations. When user dealing with special labels which contain special
boolean ops itself it it, let them quote it. Yes if quote is there we should
remove this. But will it's usage be so common?
For labels in AUthorizations we added validation later for better usability. So
we should not drop that IMO.

> This would be an action item that we would be addressing so that the
> visibility labels could have UTF8 characters in them. Also allow the user to
> use a client supplied API that allows to specify the visibility labels inside
> double quotes such that UTF8 characters and cases like &, |, ! and double
> quotes itself could be specified with proper escape sequence. Accumulo too
> provides one such API in the client side.
