Hi Edward,
Thanks...although it looks from CASSANDRA-1377 comments that perhaps the
reserved characters in CF and keyspace names haven't been decided yet?
If it hasn't been decided yet I would suggest making it as relaxed as
possible (allowing '.' in addition to '-' and perhaps others...if
possible)...and then having some minimal docs on the restrictions...in
addition to the source...just so that users can easily comply with the
restrictions. I'll agree to help with the docs if things are decided.
Thanks,
Scott

I've noticed when creating column families that the name of the column
family apparently has some restrictions...e.g. the presence of a '.'
character in the column family name seems to throw an exception. Is
there anywhere articulated the restrictions on column family names (and
keyspace names...if there are any such restrictions). If so, where?
Thanksinadvance,
Scott
