Joe Stein commented on KAFKA-1481:
----------------------------------
[~junrao] If this patch is going to cause existing users that are not having a
problem issues and it is causing existing users issues by not patching it then
can we introduce a configuration so we can accommodate both (default to how it
is working now)? Then we can get it in 0.8.2. Thoughts?
> Stop using dashes AND underscores as separators in MBean names

>
> MBeans should not use dashes or underscores as separators because these
> characters are allowed in hostnames, topics, group and consumer IDs, etc.,
> and these are embedded in MBeans names making it impossible to parse out
> individual bits from MBeans.
> Perhaps a pipe character should be used to avoid the conflict.
> This looks like a major blocker because it means nobody can write Kafka 0.8.x
> monitoring tools unless they are doing it for themselves AND do not use
> dashes AND do not use underscores.
