> Key: HBASE-8093
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8093
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: master, Region Assignment, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.98.0, 0.95.0
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Assignee: Enis Soztutar
> Fix For: 0.95.2
>
>
> Having a table named ".META." causes problems on NTFS file system under
> windows, since it does not allow file names ending with ".".
> Nicolas and I have been thinking of just changing the name of the META to be
> {noformat}-META-{noformat}
> Since 0.96 is the singularity, and we already moved ROOT to zk, now seems
> like a good time to do such a change. There will be no rolling upgrade
> support.
> We can migrate META, and can keep BC, by having an internal alias between the
> old meta name, and new meta name. This way, outside scripts and code who
> reads META can still work.
> See also HBASE-6818, HBASE-6821.
