we will lose data if the table name happens to be the logs' dir name

                 Key: HBASE-1112
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1112
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Samuel Guo
            Priority: Minor


If the tablename happens to equal with the logs' dir name of a certain 
regionserver, the table will store table's data into the same dir in HDFS 
shared with the regionserver's log dir. If the specified region server fails, 
the dir may be removed after the logs are replayed. And here, we lose the data.

I suggest that a special char like '_' could be added before the logdir's name, 
just as what root region and meta region have done. So we can prevent the user 
table's data from being stored in a log dir. for example, 
'log_10.132.15.1_1231465024534_60020' will be changed to 
'_log_10.132.15.1_1231465024534_60020'.
