Josh Elser updated ACCUMULO-1963:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7.0)
1.8.0
> Rename metadata table ID (!0) so it doesn't have an exclamation point
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-1963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1963
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> The table ID for the metadata table is problematic. The reserved character
> requires special escaping in shells, like bash.
> This was going to happen with ACCUMULO-1712, but would require some effort to
> upgrade and test the root table, walogs, and HDFS paths, so this is going to
> be postponed and not completed for 1.6.
> The proposed new table ID is "\+m", following the conventions of the root
> table, whose ID is "\+r". ("\+" can be used much more safely across
> filesystems and shells).
