[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-241) Visibility labels should allow more characters

["John Vines (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13449680#comment-13449680 ] 

John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-241:
-------------------------------------

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes%28%29

It seems getBytes (which i think is what we're using) doesn't always have a guarantee that it will be in UTF8. We should explicitly use UTF-8 to make sure that's not the problem by using the other getBytes call where the Charset is explicitly set.

> We currently whitelist our visibility labels to only allow alphanumerics and a few select delimiting characters. Users occasionally ask for characters that are not allowed in the current system.  We need a system that lets users use whatever characters they like w/o seeking permission from Accumulo developers.
