Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-164:
-----------------------------------------
This isn't a suffix wildcard for a search, it's a wildcard for how the data is
grouped in an RFile. It might be a good exercise to try to find a use case for
it, though. I started thinking about a case where you have two pieces of
information in the family, e.g. "snake" + "reptile", where "*reptile" would be
the suffix used to create the locality group. However, I can't think of a good
reason not to use "reptile" + "snake" with a prefix wildcard of "reptile*"
instead.
> Add support for wildcards/regexes in locality group setting.
