Jinmei Liao commented on GEODE-7523: ------------------------------------ "CreateIndexConmmand" will catch this early and fail when looking for the wrong region -- if the region exists is A.B, it will look for region A instead of A.B. Even if it passes this step, the same error would occur if trying to create the index on the server. > Cannot add an index to a region that has a dot in its name > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-7523 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7523 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Bug > Components: querying > Reporter: Dale Emery > Priority: Major > > It is not possible to add an index to a region that has a dot in its name. > Geode currently accepts dots in region names (though the documentation says > it does not). > To create an index via GFSH, the user specifies the region name using the > `--region` parameter. GFSH passes the region name to the query service as a > "from clause." > The query service uses OQL parsers in several places to extract the region > name from the given "from clause." The OQL parser's grammar does not > recognize a dot as being part of a region name, and so truncates the given > "from clause" at the first dot. When a region name contains a dot, this has > the effect of truncating the region name at the first dot. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
