James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4229:
---------------------------------------
The system catalog is a single table so that it can be committed atomically
through standard HBase APIs.

code reviews and suggest areas that need documentation, answer questions on the

> Parent-Child linking rows in System.Catalog break tenant view replication
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PHOENIX-4229
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4229
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.11.0, 4.12.0
> Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby
> Assignee: Geoffrey Jacoby
>
> PHOENIX-2051 introduced new Parent-Child linking rows to System.Catalog that
> speed up view deletion. Unfortunately, this breaks assumptions in
> PHOENIX-3639, which gives a way to replicate tenant views from one cluster to
> another. (It assumes that all the metadata for a tenant view is owned by the
> tenant -- the linking rows are not.)
> PHOENIX-3639 was a workaround in the first place to the more fundamental
> design problem that Phoenix places the metadata for both table schemas --
> which should never be replicated -- in the same table and column family as
> the metadata for tenant views, which should be replicated.
> Note that the linking rows also make it more difficult to ever split these
> two datasets apart, as proposed in PHOENIX-3520.
