Aerospike aql: Periods in Namespace Name

Question

We have namespaces with periods in their names. E.g. budget.region1.

How can we use aql to query these namespaces?

aql uses periods to delimit namespace from set, and appears to be confused by the periods in our namespace name:

aql> select * from budget.region1
Error: (20) AEROSPIKE_ERR_NAMESPACE_NOT_FOUND

We have tried single and double quotes around the namespace name, backslash-escaping the period, etc., with no luck.

Is aql usable with our namespaces?

(Answers that ask us to use client libraries (Python, Go, etc.) are not useful. We're asking about the command line client. Since ascli is deprecated/gone, we're forced to use aql.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, aql does not parse namespaces containing periods. I recommend logging a bug with Aerospike.
