Lars Hofhansl updated PHOENIX-4360: ----------------------------------- Description: Just talked to [~jamestaylor]. It turns out that currently System.Catalog is not prevented from splitting generally, but does not allow splitting within a schema. In the multi-tenant case that is not good enough. When System.Catalog splits and a base table and view end up in different regions the following can happen: * DROP CASCADE no longer works for those views * Adding/removing columns to/from the base table no longer works Until PHOENIX-3534 is done we should simply prevent System.Catalog from splitting. (just like HBase:meta) [~apurtell] was: Just talked to [~jamestaylor].
