> Currently, the tables in Phoenix have the same name as the underlying Hbase
> table. Separating logical and physical table name, ie. Having a Phoenix table
> point to an Hbase table with a different name have some advantages.
> An example is this: Let's say we want to have a different storage/encoding
> scheme for an index. We can build the new index while the clients use the old
> index and once the index is rebuilt, we can momentarily start pointing to the
> new index table without much downtime or performance implications. For the
> client, they are using the same index with the same name, but the physical
> table is different. Today, in order to change the index like this, we have to
> drop it and re-create which is a downtime for the index and the data table
> full scans are used for queries impacting performance while the index
> creation goes on.
