While I was doing this I found out that there is a method in HTableDescriptor called isMetaTable() which basically checks if the table is a catalog table and the name kind of misleading. I am planning to rename this method to isCatalogTable().
1. Is it ok to do this renaming considering that this is a client side API/ Admin API might lead to a lot of changes on client side for people already using this method? 2. If yes, is it ok to do it under the same JIRA HBase-4486 or should another another JIRA be file for this ? 3. If no, could this method be deprecated and another new method isCatalogTable() be added ?
