Guangxu Cheng commented on HBASE-20243:
---------------------------------------
{quote}The new method is called cloneTable. But it only creates the table
without filling data. I think currently clone means duplicating table content
as well.

Sorry, except {{clone}}, I didn't find any other more suitable word.
As discussed in
[clone-copy|http://net-informations.com/faq/framework/clone-copy.htm],
{{Clone}} will copy the structure of a data where as {{Copy}} will copy the
complete structure as well as data.
IMO, {{clone}} may be suitable.I look forward to more better
suggestions..Thanks

> In the production environment, we need to create a new table every day. The
> schema and the split keys of the table are the same as that of yesterday's
> table, only the name of the table is different. For example,
> xxxxx_20180321,xxxxx_20180322 etc.But now there is no convenient command to
> do this. So we may need such a command(clone_table) to create a new table by
> cloning the existent table.
