Enis Soztutar resolved HBASE-6818. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem This is not a problem any more after the namespaces change in 0.96, which renamed .META. table to hbase:meta. > [WINDOWS] Catalog table .META. violates the naming convention in Window OS > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6818 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6818 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 0.94.3, 0.95.2 > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Labels: windows > Attachments: hbase-6818-newapproach-0.94_v1.patch > > > There are two catalog tables in HBase, ROOT and .META., whose representitives > in Windows file system are folders. However, the name of .META. table > violates the naming convention in Windows, as Windows doesn't support any > file/directory whose name ending with a period '.'. > The following are the related description from msdn.microsoft.com for naming > convention for Windows : > Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period. Although the > underlying file system may support such names, the Windows shell and user > interface does not. However, it is acceptable to specify a period as the > first character of a name. For example, ".temp". > Note that this does not affect hdfs, but only RawLocalFileSystem, and > single-node local hbase clusters. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
