             Summary: registry punycoding of usernames doesn't fix all 
usernames to be DNS-valid
                 Key: YARN-2677
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2677
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Assignee: Steve Loughran


The registry has a restriction "DNS-valid names only" to retain the future 
option of DNS exporting of the registry.

to handle complex usernames, it punycodes the username first, using Java's 
{{java.net.IDN}} class.

This turns out to only map high unicode-> ASCII, and does nothing for 
ascii-but-invalid-hostname chars, so stopping users with DNS-illegal names 
(e.g. with an underscore in them) from being able to register
