stack commented on HBASE-643:
-----------------------------
@Devin No. What is attached here has rotted. It would need work to update it.
Even then, the script was a band-aid. What is needed is our keeping an id
rather than the table name everywhere so a rename requires our changing the
tablename once in a table to id map rather than in a few places in the
filesystem as well as in the metadata kept by each table region.

> 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.
