------------------------------------
Summary: [WINDOWS] Catalog table .META. violates the naming
convention in Window OS
Key: HBASE-6818
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6818
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
There are two catalog tables in HBase, ROOT and .META., whose representitives
in Windows file system are folders. However, the name of .META. table violates
the naming convention in Windows, as Windows doesn't support any file/directory
whose name ending with a period '.'.
The following are the related description from msdn.microsoft.com for naming
convention for Windows :
Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period. Although the
underlying file system may support such names, the Windows shell and user
interface does not. However, it is acceptable to specify a period as the first
character of a name. For example, ".temp".
Note that this does not affect hdfs, but only RawLocalFileSystem, and
single-node local hbase clusters.
