Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-11438:
----------------------------------------
Skimmed the v2 patch, changes look ok.
Instead of embedding unicode chars into string literals, can we use unicode
escapes?
> [Visibility Controller] Support UTF8 character as Visibility Labels

> This would be an action item that we would be addressing so that the
> visibility labels could have UTF8 characters in them. Also allow the user to
> use a client supplied API that allows to specify the visibility labels inside
> double quotes such that UTF8 characters and cases like &, |, ! and double
> quotes itself could be specified with proper escape sequence. Accumulo too
> provides one such API in the client side.
