It is possible to rename a table in Hbase, but it doesn't appear to be recognized by Phoenix.
I use the approach documented for HBase: disable 'MySchema.TABLE1' snapshot 'MySchema.TABLE1', 'MySchema.TABLE1_SNAPSHOT' clone_snapshot 'MySchema.TABLE1_SNAPSHOT', NewSchema.TABLE1' delete_snapshot 'MySchema.TABLE1_SNAPSHOT' #drop 'MySchema.TABLE1' - let's test before dropping However, when testing this Phoenix doesn't seem to see the new cloned table and there is nothing in the SYSTEM.CATALOG for it, even after restarting the phoenix client. Should this mechanism work in Phoenix or is there another way to rename or clone an existing table? Michael
