stack commented on HBASE-8408: ------------------------------ Trying the patch, LoadTestTool is only hunk that would not apply (Easy fix of an import). Also has prob w/ b/hbase-server/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/TestLogRollAbort.java This pretty brutal in the shell: {code} hbase(main):002:0> scan '.META.' ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal first character <46> at 0. Namespaces can only start with alphanumeric characters': i.e. [a-zA-Z_0-9]: .META. Here is some help for this command: Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner specifications. Scanner specifications may include one or more of: TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH, or COLUMNS, CACHE.... {code} Should probably give folks a bit of a nicer letdown. If I do 'list', I do not see system tables and the help gives me no clue they exist. I suppose this is how it always was. Should I be able to do this? hbase(main):013:0> create 'hbase:stack', 'stack' 0 row(s) in 0.1790 seconds I created a system table named 'stack'? The 'create' command needs updating so it has some namespace stuff going on? Doesn't it? It has nothing on it currently. > Implement namespace > ------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8408 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8408 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Francis Liu > Assignee: Francis Liu > Attachments: HBASE-8015_11.patch, HBASE-8015_12.patch, > HBASE-8015_13.patch, HBASE-8015_14.patch, HBASE-8015_15.patch, > HBASE-8015_16.patch, HBASE-8015_1.patch, HBASE-8015_2.patch, > HBASE-8015_3.patch, HBASE-8015_4.patch, HBASE-8015_5.patch, > HBASE-8015_6.patch, HBASE-8015_7.patch, HBASE-8015_8.patch, > HBASE-8015_9.patch, HBASE-8015.patch, TestNamespaceMigration.tgz, > TestNamespaceUpgrade.tgz > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
