Francis Liu commented on HBASE-8015:
------------------------------------
It seems we've come to a consensus on the upgrade approach.
{quote}
In essence it'll do the following:
- Tables without '.' will be moved into the default namespace.
- Tables with '.' will be move into new namespaces
- namespaces will be delimited by the last '.' in the table name
ie org.apache.hbase.MyTable, namespace = org.apache.hbase
- In both cases the oldTableName is the same as the fullTableName
- all existing apis and cli commands will be expecting full table names unless
explicitly stated
- a RenameTable tool will be provided to rename offline tables
{quote}
So I'll start implementing it.
