Tianying Chang commented on HBASE-7896:
---------------------------------------
Here is what happened that required us to do renaming for our customers:
There are two production cluster X and Y. Both have table A, but with different
data. Now the customers want to copy the table A from Cluster X into cluster Y,
and still use table name A for some testing in cluster Y. But they don't want
to lose data in original table A of cluster Y either. So they want us to rename
table A in cluster Y to be A-Y, and then copy table A from cluster X into
cluster Y.
BTW, Our production cluster is 0.92/0.94. When we found the rename_table.rb
does not work for 0.92/0.94, we decided to fix that to unblock our customers.
> make rename_table working in 92/94
