Rohini Palaniswamy commented on PIG-4620:
-----------------------------------------

[~achirita],
   We have users running with hbase://SampleNamespace:SampleTableCopy for quite a while now and it works fine. There is no URI validation errors. What error are you getting?

> Since version 0.96 HBase introduced namespace support.
> Apace Pig has recently updated the HBase dependency to 0.98.12 (PIG-4544)
> Currently there's no way to specify the namespace for a table.
> I suggest to implement it is using a '-namespace' option.
> {code}
> copy = STORE raw INTO 'hbase://SampleTableCopy'
>        USING org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage(
>        'info:first_name info:last_name friends:* info:*','-namespace SampleNamespace');
> {code}
> We can't use the namespace in the hbase path as it will break the uri validation : 'hbase://SampleNamespace:SampleTableCopy'
> The patch is available. I will look to extend the unittest for the namespace option.
> Please review my changes and let me know if I can help with something.
> Kind regard,
> Andi
