Ajay Jadhav commented on HBASE-18444: ------------------------------------- [~yuzhih...@gmail.com]: Yes, that was intentional to separate the default meta table name (meta) from the metaTableSuffix that user provides. The user can have a metaTableSuffix with "_" as prefix. I'll attach the patch for master soon. > Add support for specifying custom meta table suffix > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-18444 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18444 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.3.1 > Reporter: Ajay Jadhav > Assignee: Ajay Jadhav > Priority: Minor > Labels: patch > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-18444.branch-1.001.patch > > > This patch provides user an ability to have a custom meta table suffix. > In order to share a common rootDir amongst multiple HBase clusters, we need > separate meta table for each cluster. > With custom meta table suffix, the meta table is named in the form of > meta_{suffix} making it specific to a cluster. > Users can specify the meta table suffix as part of hbase-site.xml. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
