stack commented on HBASE-8015:
------------------------------
On 1., you mean existing HFileLinks? They would be to tables in default
namespace? Can HFileLink be updated to look there and then add namespace in
front of tablename, regioname and filename when creating the name? Could use
current link separator for added ns? hfilelink already has its own notion of
separator?
On 2., references are always 'local' to a table -- won't be across namespaces?
Where in HFile reference do we reference table name? (I see regionnames and
splitkeys)
3. On snapshot names, yeah, go ahead and make ':' special character (not
allowed in snapshot names)
So would the above be the only places we'd want to persist a ':' in fs? (In
fs we'd usually ahve table in a ns subdir).
Will review github.
What is left to finish would you say?
