Table names and secondary index names are not following DynamoDB limitation

[Ilya Sviridov]

According to DynamoDB limits document [1] it is allowed to create tables and secondary indexes with a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '_' (underscore), '-' (dash), and '.' (dot) characters. Also names can be between 3 and 255 characters long.

^^ is not in an 'abandoned' state any more :)

Are we adding this limitation only to the DynamoDB (AWS) API? Or also to MagnetoDB (OpenStack) API too? Since we're saying that MagnetoDB API is going to be NOT same as DynamoDB API, and we make our own choices w.r.t our API, I don't think it makes sense to impose DynamoDB API's restrictions to MagnetoDB API

    Additional validation; UUIDs as internal table names

    Restrict keyspace, index, table, and attribute names to valid characters,
    and minimum and maximum lengths as per
    http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Limits.html

    Use UUIDs as internal table / column family names in Cassandra
    implementation, to deal with different length limits and valid characters.
