   Do we know what the impact / actual limit is?  The might be quite a gap between "giant" and  255.  Depending on how tables are created, it is not hard to get larger than 255.  Throw in a base name, a yarn job name and a timestamp or two and you can get a generated name that is not user friendly, but does encode some system runtime info that can be useful.
   
   Whatever limit is "chosen" an approach could to have it as a configuration parameter with a sensible default and some guidance on what the "real" max should be considered to be.  Sort of like the zookeeper jute buffer parameter.
