Valid characters in region names?
I'm working on a bug where it is not possible to delete a region that has a
hyphen in it. E.g., the region was created with:
create region --name=not-good --type=REPLICATE
I've a solution done, but see this as an opportunity to add a test for
other special characters. Is there a list of valid and invalid characters
for a region name?

We already discussed this on the previous thread and got general consensus
on getting "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12345678
90_-" for Geode... Anything other than this can be problematic for JMX and
other components that will then require special treatment to handle unusual
chars.
If any user is coming from GemFire , they still can use snapshots to
export/import data into the new regions.
I'd also recommend enforcing the rules for region creation in all possible
APIs, for consistency... (GFSH, cache.xml, RegionFactory...)

Here is what GemFire docs states about region names:
http://gemfire.docs.pivotal.io/docs-gemfire/latest/basic_config/data_regions/region_naming.html
But again, we have supported other chars as part of region names...
The Query engine allows/detects region name with: "_", “+”, “-“, “:”, “#”,
“@“, “$”.

Here is the page of the documentation on region naming:
http://docs-geode-develop.cfapps.io/docs/basic_config/data_regions/region_naming.html
I'm guessing that a JIRA for also including a dash was not implemented.
When you find the
JIRA number, please post it on this thread.

Do you know if a Jira ticket was opened on it? I'm currently working on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1615 and would like to link to
it.

Yes we did discuss adding hyphen in Geode, and we discussed actually
checking during create.

Re: Valid characters in region names?

I found a thread from March of this year where this was discussed and '-'
is also included in that list.
Shouldn't the creation of a region with an invalid character raise an
exception? I'm finding that I can create and list regions with a variety
of non-alphanumeric characters. But I can only destroy a subset of those.
It appears to be because some are created with quotes around the region
name.
E.g.,
service=Region, name=/good, type=Member
service=Region, name="/not*good", type=Member
The name lookup fails in the Destroy call. The rule that applied the
quotes for /not*good during Create isn't applied in Destroy

The only characters that should be used in Region names are
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890_
