David Medinets commented on ACCUMULO-241:
-----------------------------------------
It seems like someone ran into a specific label string that would not currently
work. If possible, I'd like to know what that label was. Thanks.
> Visibility labels should blacklist non-ASCII characters instead of
> whitelisting select ASCII characters

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-241
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.3.5
> Reporter: John Vines
> Labels: visibility
> Fix For: 1.3.6
>
>
> We currently whitelist our visibility labels to only allow alphanumerics and
> a few select delimiting characters. While we strive for human-readable
> labels, we should instead utilize a blacklist approach where we disallow
> parentheses, ampersands, pipes, and any non-ASCII characters. This will
> provide users with more flexibility in labeling, while still sticking to
> human readability.
