# Stream, Consumer, and Account Names
|
|
|
|
Stream, Consumer (durable name), and Account names are used in both the
|
|
subject namespace used by JetStream and the filesystem backing JetStream
|
|
persistence. This means that when naming streams, consumers, and
|
|
accounts, names must adhere to subject naming rules as well as being
|
|
friendly to the file system.
|
|
|
|
We recommend the following guideline for stream, consumer, and account names:
|
|
|
|
* Alphanumeric values are recommended.
|
|
* Spaces, tabs, period \(`.`\), greater than \(`>`\) or asterix \(`*`\) are prohibited.
|
|
* Limit names to 255 characters or less.
|
|
* Do not use reserved file names like NUL, LPT1, etc.
|
|
* Be aware that some file systems are case insentitive so do not
|
|
use stream or account names that would collide in a file system.
|
|
For example, `Foo` and `foo` would collide on a Windows or Mac OSx System.
|
|
|
|
We plan to address these limitations in a future release. |
