[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1963) Rename metadata table ID (!0) so it doesn't have an exclamation point

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1963?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13867647#comment-13867647 ] 

Mike Drob commented on ACCUMULO-1963:
-------------------------------------

Does it matter that '+m' would sort before '+r'?

> The table ID for the metadata table is problematic. The reserved character requires special escaping in shells, like bash.
> This was going to happen with ACCUMULO-1712, but would require some effort to upgrade and test the root table, walogs, and HDFS paths, so this is going to be postponed and not completed for 1.6.
> The proposed new table ID is "\+m", following the conventions of the root table, whose ID is "\+r". ("\+" can be used much more safely across filesystems and shells).
