Enis Soztutar commented on PHOENIX-1311:
----------------------------------------

bq. We could then have a MR-based conversion tool to migrate the existing data of a table into a namespace aware Phoenix table
If there is no data layout change, but only hbase table name change, the best way would be to take snapshot then restore snapshot as a table in the desired namespace. 

We may also need to find a way to auto-create the namespaces in HBase for existing schemas in Phoenix. Agreed that a short design doc talking about how the end state would be good.

> Hbase (HBASE-8015) has the concept of namespaces in the form of myNamespace:MyTable it would be great if Phoenix leveraged this feature to give a database like feature on top of the table.
> Maybe to stay close to Hbase it could also be a create DB:Table...
> or DB.Table which is a more standard annotation?
