Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5076:
---------------------------------------
My suggestion is to do the filter first (so we can compatibly back port this to
sustaining releases) and then file a jira to fix the problem by renaming the
special files to the illegal table names in trunk. The trunk fix is
significantly more involved because it requires migration checks for major
version upgrades.
> HBase shell hangs when creating some 'illegal' tables.

> Key: HBASE-5076
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5076
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 0.92.0, 0.96.0, 0.94.1, 0.94.2
> Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
>
> In hbase shell. These commands hang:
> {code}
> create 'hbase.version','foo'
> create 'splitlog','foo'
> {code}
> Interestingly
> {code}
> create 'hbase.id','foo'
> create existingtablename, 'foo'
> create '.META.','foo'
> create '-ROOT-','foo'
> {code}
> are properly rejected.
> We should probably either rename to make the files illegal table names
> (hbase.version to .hbase.version and splitlog to .splitlog) or we could add
> more special cases.
