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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Keith Turner updated ACCUMULO-241:
----------------------------------

    Description: 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.  (was: We currently whitelist our visibility labels to only allow alphanumerics and a few select delimiting characters. While we strive for human-readable labels, we should instead utilize a blacklist approach where we disallow parentheses, ampersands, pipes, and any non-ASCII characters. This will provide users with more flexibility in labeling, while still sticking to human readability.)
        Summary: Visibility labels should allow more characters  (was: Visibility labels should blacklist non-ASCII characters instead of whitelisting select ASCII characters)
