Francis Liu commented on HBASE-8015: ------------------------------------ {quote} w.r.t. dot in table name: public static final String VALID_USER_TABLE_REGEX = "(?:[a-zA-Z_0-9][a-zA-Z_0-9.-]*)"; So dot should be allowed {quote} Thanks for the clarification. It seems like '.' and '-' isn't allowed only if it's the first character. For backward compatibility why don't we create namespaces for those tables that are named that way? > Support for Namespaces > ---------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8015 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8015 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Francis Liu > Assignee: Francis Liu > Attachments: NamespaceDesign.pdf > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
