What are the allowed characters for DSE Graph label names and property keys?

What are the allowed characters for DSE Graph Vertex/Edge label names and Property Keys?

Titan allowed any value, and we had some of our labels namespaced with . characters. Trying to import our data into DSE Graph throws an exception telling us that . characters are not supported in label names.

I couldn't find this limitation documented anywhere.

Solution

  • DataStax documentation says "Allowed characters for the name are alphabetical or underscore"
    for vertex and property labels. Indicating dot (.) is not allowed.
