But the thing is, BigTable uses 'Tables' as well. Calling it
namespaces just makes it even more confusing. Seems like calling it
namespace would confuse uses even more when trying to relate this to
RDBMS.
I think the bigger mistake is the fact we haven't made a super easy to
use tutorial utilizing multi-table with examples so users can
understand how it works.
Maybe I should make a screen cast :-)

Cassandra only supports one table per instance (before today?).
However, as
Jonathan mentioned previously, what you consider to be tables are
represented as column families in Cassandra.
See, this is why I suggested renaming <table> -- _everyone_ who hasn't
read the Bigtable paper (which is increasingly approaching 100% of new
users) makes this mistake.
