stack commented on HBASE-1112:
------------------------------

I like this change also because it cleans up our root dir moving the logs into 
a subdir -- a cluster of 100 could have 64 max each -- thats 6400 logs at 
toplevel  (We'll need to have a migration that screams if logs exist at rootdir)

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

> 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'.
