Sergey Shelukhin commented on HBASE-8015:
-----------------------------------------
Option 4 is to use a dot, not create any automatic namespaces, have
well-defined name resolution rules, and prohibit creating conflicts under those
(also prohibit any further dots in table names for good measure). E.g. if user
has org.my.cool.table, org.my.foo.table they go under default, and namespaces
org, org.my, org.my.cool, and org.my.cool2 cannot be created at all until this
table is renamed (or maybe they can be created by explicitly specifying that
all tables should be renamed/moved under namespace keeping essentially the same
name given the dots).
That way it's explicit to the user what needs to be done (no
shooting-in-the-foot); there are dots; and there's minimum surprise.
The extra dev work is for mapping such table names to HDFS paths/etc.
