Resource naming conventions

​

Workspace

• Length: 1–18 characters.
• Allowed: lowercase letters (a–z), digits (0–9), and hyphens (-).
• Must start and end with a letter or digit - no leading or trailing hyphen.
• Not allowed: uppercase letters, underscores, dots, or other special characters.

​

Cluster

• Length: 3–30 characters.
• Allowed: letters (upper or lower case), digits (0–9), and hyphens (-).
• Must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.
• Case-sensitive: Prod-1 and prod-1 are different names.
• Not allowed: underscores, dots, or other special characters.
• The cluster name is the routing key in every connection and cannot be changed after creation.

​

Catalog

• Length: 1–253 characters.
• Allowed: the display name is permissive - mixed case, letters, digits, hyphens, and dots.
• Normalized internally: e6data stores a normalized version of the name alongside the display name. Underscores, spaces, and other non-allowed characters become hyphens; the name is lowercased; consecutive hyphens collapse to one; and leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed. Dots are preserved in both names.

Quick reference

​

General guidelines

• Names can’t contain spaces, except catalog names, where spaces are converted to hyphens in the normalized name.
• Names are case-sensitive where mixed case is allowed (clusters and catalogs).
• Reserved system prefixes can’t be used in names you provide.
• For the broadest compatibility, prefer lowercase letters and hyphens wherever a resource allows it.
