if you don't change it from table, what about putting a huge comment in the config file with the FAQ entry in it.

I'd like for us to continue with "Table" as well.
I agree with Alexander's argument for what "namespaces" mean for most
CS domains.

Moving up a notch to a "database" is also confusing (Do we also have
tables? Are there tablespaces? Different storage engines for each
tablespace?)

We'll have to think of new names for columns and supercolumns too ---
I'd rather we stayed with "Table"

I think we should keep it as 'table'. It's understood everywhere. I've always even heard BigTable call it a Table? I think namespace might just be
more confusing.

Since we're proposing things that break stuff this weekend... :)

I think we should rename table to namespace in the config file.
Calling it "table" confuses people coming from an rdbms background
(i.e. just about everyone).
