James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1311:
---------------------------------------

I like the idea of having this just impact the physical name we store, but I 
think there may be corner cases. Also, the CREATE TABLE case may be tricky, as 
we create the metadata before we really have a PTable. I think it'd be ok to 
have a global client-side config that enables/disables this functionality (or 
alternatively, it's always on, but we force an upgrade prior to usage).

One more minor nit: rather than a version flag on the SYSTEM.CATALOG table, we 
typically have a boolean indicator specific to the feature on whether it's 
enabled or not.

> Hbase (HBASE-8015) has the concept of namespaces in the form of 
> myNamespace:MyTable it would be great if Phoenix leveraged this feature to 
> give a database like feature on top of the table.
> Maybe to stay close to Hbase it could also be a create DB:Table...
> or DB.Table which is a more standard annotation?
