Multiple databases or namespace in Hbase

Question

Is there a way to setup Hbase so we can create multiples databases inside the same cluster ?

Answer 1

No there's none. However, you can use prefixes for table names to separate a set of tables from another set.

I didn't test ACLs before, but I think you can use them in recent versions of hbase > 0.92 to allow access to some tables and prevent access to others per user.
