[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-2088) Prevent splitting and recombining select expressions for MR integration

If we have an index on an expression the index column name can contain characters like '|' or ','. 
This causes issues with the way we serialize columns PhoenixConfigurationUtil.setUpsertColumnNames()
and ColumnInfoToStringEncoderDecoder . 

One way to fix this is to use a delimiter that won't be used in an expression, but this seems like it might break if we ever add a function/operator that uses the delimiter. 

Do you know if there is a better way to fix this?

> We currently send in the select expressions for the MR integration with a delimiter separated string, split based on the delimiter, and then recombine again using a comma separator. This is problematic because the delimiter character may appear in a select expression, thus breaking this logic. Instead, we should use a comma as the delimiter and avoid splitting and recombining as it's not necessary in that case. Instead, the entire string can be used as-is in that case to form the select expressions.
