Namespace vs table

Hi,

What's the difference between Namespace and Table?

What would be consideration to determine if I should use a new namespace
V.S new table?

Thanks
Kenneth

Have you read http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#namespace ?

Every table lives in namespace - the user tables are under 'default'
namespace if you don't create your own namespace.

Cheers
