Description

YARN-1001 is an example of a RESTy API to the RM's list of apps and app types -and it shows that we may want to add some restrictions on the characters allowed in an app name or type (or at least forbid some) -before it is too late.

If we don't do that, then tests should verify that you can have apps with high-unicode names as well as other troublesome characters
