Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-21154:
-------------------------------------
bq. HBASE-21508 has been committed, so let me commit the patch here first.
Since it is only on master, I think it is OK as there is no recent releases so
we can open new issues to address the new problems.
Am I as a reviewer expected to open these new issues? Without looking at
anything other than the file list I can say that this change doesn't have
sufficient documentation. The namespace table going away is A Big Deal
operationally. It should be called out in an upgrade section on moving to 3.0.
> Remove hbase:namespace table; fold it into hbase:meta

> Namespace table is a small system table. Usually it has two rows. It must be
> assigned before user tables but after hbase:meta goes out. Its presence
> complicates our startup and is a constant source of grief when for whatever
> reason, it is not up and available. In fact, master startup is predicated on
> hbase:namespace being assigned and will not make progress unless it is up.
> Lets just add a new 'ns' column family to hbase:meta for namespace.
> Here is a default ns table content:
> {code}
> hbase(main):023:0* scan 'hbase:namespace'
> ROW
> COLUMN+CELL
> default
> column=info:d, timestamp=1526694059106,
> value=\x0A\x07default
> hbase
> column=info:d, timestamp=1526694059461,
> value=\x0A\x05hbase
> {code}
