Todd Lipcon commented on KUDU-981:
----------------------------------
I started putting a few restrictions in place in this patch:
http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/5290
I agree that it's arbitrary, but given that we don't do any testing with really
long table names or identifiers, I think it's best to put some guard rails in
place, mostly to guard against a user writing some bug which accidentally tries
to create a 1MB column name or somesuch. Based on research into other
databases, relatively short limits on length are the norm.
In this above patch i didn't do any limiting of character sets, we can do that
in a follow-up.

> Currently I believe we allow table names such as "", " ", etc. We should
> probably figure out a reasonable subset of characters and validate names.
