Never mind merit, this issue has it in spades, if this radical refactor is to
make it into 0.95, the activity needs to pick up. For integration to happen,
the patch needs to be freighted w/ tests and migration code able to promptly
move hbase from its current layout to namespace layout. The patch when done
should have a glow of confidence w/ ready answers for how to deal with issues
such as pre-existing tables that have a '.' in their name.

[~stack] Would we be able to get it in quicker with a feature branch? The
reason I am asking is because part of what's challenging about this enhancement
is catching all the code which makes assumption on path changes. And that will
continue to grow until we provide the helper functions to be used. We have an
0.94 version of this patch working in sandbox with active users. So I believe
basic functionality is working. The big thing missing is the migration script
(We don't use '.' in table names).
