------------------------------------

I think we should have namespaces as first class citizens. Namespaces have been
traditionally used for grouping tables, setup replication, restricting access,
etc. As a database, we can also use namespaces for acl, repication, backup,
etc.

They will be first class citizens. There will be a namespace table for
namespace meta information. Also embedding namespace information in table name
does not prevent this, we are just introducing the notion of fully-qualified
table names (which we should introduce anyway). And store them in this form in
meta/root.
