stack commented on HBASE-643:
-----------------------------
@Sameer I don't think so. The rename script was recently removed because it
had rotted; it had not been updated to match changed API. We really need
something like ids for tables, something like what Keith talks of in the above
so a rename is a near-costless operations (as opposed to the rewrite of .META.
and HDFS dir name that the rename script used do).

> It would be nice to be able to rename tables, if this is possible. Some of
> our internal users are doing things like: upload table mytable -> realize
> they screwed up -> upload table mytable_2 -> decide mytable_2 looks better ->
> have to go on using mytable_2 instead of originally desired table name.
