-------------------------------------------------------------------

How many, let's say, 200 character table names does it take to exhaust the 
Zookeeper memory and why would that be an Accumulo issue? Plucking a number out 
of the air, we could say that 2,500 table names of 200 characters each exhaust 
Zookeeper memory. If we arbitrarily limit table names to 100 characters then 
Zookeeper memory would be exhausted after 5,000 tables were created? It seems 
like table name size should be a guideline not an enforceable constraint. You 
have to know that six months after the constraint is added, someone will have a 
use case for longer table names and then we'll need to make the constraint 
configurable.

Oh.. and does this need to have 'Major' priority?
