Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-11006: ----------------------------------------- do we still have the problems of the reserved names? before 96 we had the problem because the table were located in the /hbase root dir so they conflicted with the "reserved ones". but now, everything is inside /hbase/data/ and we shouldn't have system stuff there so, you should be able to create /hbase/data/default/data or /hbase/data/myns/data and others > Cannot create 'data' table > -------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-11006 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11006 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.96.0 > Reporter: Gregory Hart > Assignee: Gustavo Anatoly > Labels: noob > Fix For: 0.99.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-11006.patch > > > Starting with HBase 0.96, it is not possible to create a table named 'data'. > When a user tries to create a table named 'data', the table is added to the > metastore but the region server fails to open the region. > To reproduce, I just run “hbase shell” and type in: > create ‘data’, ‘cf’ > This was also verified on Apache HBase trunk by Enis from the Hortornworks > forums. His comment on the bug: > There has been a change in the directory layout in HBase 0.96 for introducing > namespaces. The HBase root directory now keeps all table data under the > sub-directory “data”. I suspect the error is somewhere there. > More info can be found on the thread in the Hortornworks forums: > http://hortonworks.com/community/forums/topic/cannot-create-data-table/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
