Naming System for Regions - Active Jira Question
Hello everyone,
I’ve recently gotten into the Geode community and have been looking for a good place to start contributing. I found this Jira regarding Duplicate Region names (Geode-6286 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-6286?jql=project%20=%20GEODE%20AND%20issuetype%20=%20Bug%20AND%20priority%20in%20(Minor,%20Low,%20Trivial)%20AND%20resolution%20=%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20ASC,%20updated%20DESC>) and believe this would be a good place for me to start. Currently, creating a region is case sensitive, so that “Region1” is different than “region1”. However, this Jira is proposing that the check on region names not be case sensitive, and only be focused on spelling. Before I begin working on this Jira, I want to check to see if this case sensitive check was purposeful, or if a spelling based check is preferred. I appreciate any clarification.
Thanks!
-Alex

I went ahead and closed out the ticket as "won't fix". Below is my
explanation:
Changing region names to not be case sensitive would break backwards
compatibility for existing users. It's better for a given user to devise a
standard naming scheme for regions to avoid any issues caused by trying to
access the region using different cases.
For example, if you want to avoid creating two similarly named regions that
vary only by case, then you should standardize on always and only using
lower case characters for naming Geode regions.

Changing the case sensitivity might break existing users' apps that use
Geode.

I added the comment on this issue: Geode region names ARE case sensitive.
Should not fix.
