Limitation on length of bin name in citrusleaf - nosql

Is there a limitation on length of bin name in citrusleaf.
Is the default value 14 and can it be increased?
I am getting following error if the length of binName is more than 14 characters (using Java API)
null due to parameter error

This restrictions is enforced from server-side.
This is an artificial restriction to keep the memory & disk requirement in control.
Note that this is only for the bin name and not the bin value.
The wire protocol is a generic interface. So, it allows any length to be passed.
Different limits are followed for different names.
For e.g. namespace & set names should be <32 bytes

The bottom line is that you cannot use bin names longer than 14 characters using the current Citrusleaf version

Node name limitations in zookeeper

Is there any documentation on the limitations on zookeeper node names? I can't find anything in official documentation regarding it. In particular, I want to know:
What characters are allowed?
Can I use any character from UTF-8 (like japanese characters)?
What is the maximum limit of characters/bytes (if any) for node name?
For 1, 2: Any unicode character can be used in a path subject to the following constraints:
The null character (\u0000) cannot be part of a path name. (This causes problems with the C binding.)
The following characters can't be used because they don't display well, or render in confusing ways: \u0001 - \u001F and \u007F - \u009F.
The following characters are not allowed: \ud800 - uF8FF, \uFFF0 - uFFFF.
The . character can be used as part of another name, but . and .. cannot alone be used to indicate a node along a path, because ZooKeeper doesn't use relative paths. The following would be invalid: /a/b/./c or /a/b/../c.
The token zookeeper is reserved.
PS: The source code: PathUtils.validatePath()
For 3: In fact, there is no limit on the length of name in ZK itself, but is is recommended not using too large name (e.g., ZK store entire data in memory for efficiency)

kubernetes label name 63 character limit

As explained at https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/
labels name and value have limit of 63 characters. Does anyone know what drives this limit? I am not looking for code condition but the real reason behind choosing this value.
As Suresh Vishnoi wrote, it is a global restriction based on RFC-1123.
Here is a simple explanation of this restriction.
There is a commit in Kubernetes which provides the validation of labels' length.
Here is design documentation of the kubernetes. The following link provides detail information.
rfc1035/rfc1123 label (DNS_LABEL): An alphanumeric (a-z, and 0-9) string, with a maximum length of 63 characters, with the '-' character allowed anywhere except the first or last character, suitable for use as a hostname or segment in a domain name.

Why does Matlab only accept a small set of characters in script filenames?

Matlab requires that script files are limited to only 63 characters
>> namelengthmax
ans =
63
and these 63 characters must be out of a small characterset without - and others.
Why does Matlab limit the filenames and is there a workaround?
The comment from beaker answers part of your question. Because they can also be funtion names, you are restricted in the character they can incorporate.
For example, if you had a file (function) named foot-ball.m, when you call it in an instruction, Matlab couldn't differentiate between:
a = foot-ball ;
where you mean to call the result of a function named foot-ball.m (actually impossible)
or
a = foot-ball ;
assigning to variable "a" the result of function foot.m minus the result of function ball.m
As to the maximum length, there are no workaround (yet) to my knowledge (until Matlab lift the restriction).
Remember that your operating system also has a limit to the length of file (and full path). On windows it is 256+4 characters. So I guess limiting a file name length to 63 is just to allow for 193 characters of full path. This can be quickly reached, faster than we think.
If your filename was 255 character long, you would have no other choice than to put it directly into c:\ or the operating system couldn't access it (so Matlab couldn't call it obviously).
Use the instruction len = namelengthmax to get the actual maximum length on your system. You can read more about it in specify file names.
or also read a similar problem from another user: Extending the maximum length of MATLAB function names. Note that this user couldn't bypass the length limit, he had to find another way to fit all the information he wanted into the maximum file name.

dart, total available string characters?

I'm not familiar with character sets and whether languages pick them up from their environments or if they are baked into the language itself, I wanted to make a simple number system in dart that has the largest possible base it can have, like hex has 0-9a-f I would have every single character in some specified ascending order with lower case and upper case having different values to give me the largest possible base to my number system. I want to do this so I can send numbers as strings with as few characters as possible, so my question is, does dart have a standard baked in character set that I can be certain will exist in every environment it runs in?
You should be able to use every value even if no concrete character is assigned to a code.
This would only be a problem when you try to display the character.
Some codes are control characters with special meaning (like 0x0000) which you should avoid

If you want to transport the result over the internet using text protocols you may be limited to ASCII. In this case I suggest Base64 encoding.

How do I use length() for unicode characters?

When working in the Moovweb SDK, length("çãêá") is expected to return 4, but instead returns 8. How can I ensure that the length function works correctly when using Unicode characters?
This is a common issue with Unicode characters and the length() function using the wrong character set. To fix it you need to set the charset_determined variable to make sure the correct character set is being used before making the call to length(), like so in your tritium code:
$charset_determined = "utf-8"
# your call to length() here
In Unicode, there is no such thing as a length of a string or "number of characters". All this comes from ASCII thinking.
You can choose from one of the following, depending what you exactly need:
For cursor movement, text selection and alike, grapheme clusters shall be used.
For limiting the length of a string in input fields, file formats, protocols, or databases, the length is measured in code units of some predetermined encoding. The reason is that any length limit is derived from the fixed amount of memory allocated for the string at a lower level, be it in memory, disk or in a particular data structure.
The size of the string as it appears on the screen is unrelated to the number of code points in the string. One has to communicate with the rendering engine for this. Code points do not occupy one column even in monospace fonts and terminals. POSIX takes this into account.
