Cristian Armaselu commented on PHOENIX-977:
-------------------------------------------

Unfortunately a view is created with select *.

This is my intention:
create a table in hbase (I want to control the region splitting policy + other 
things).
No column is created at this time.
Create on the fly/as needed either PTable or updatable views on top of the 
hbase table.
I cannot use a view since I don't know the columns and their families upfront.

> It would be nice if we can have a custom row key separator stored together 
> with the PTable metadata used at table creation time.
> impala doesn't handle very well 0x00 separator
> Also it would be useful to be able to drop a PTable without dropping the 
> existing hbase table and data, or at least make it optional.
> Also it would be nice to be able to create multiple PTables mapped to the 
> same hbase table since the end goal is to create less table in hbase, bundle 
> them together in one big table.
