Description

Found on ReviewBoard for ACCUMULO-802:

The clone method excludes properties which are unique to namespaces with a getUniqueNamespaceProperties() method.

1. I'm not sure it should be doing this at all (should a clone have the same behavior, plus any additional configuration not overridden by the table, when it appears in the new namespace, or should it only clone the properties that distinguish it from the namespace it was previously in?)
2. It could suffer from race conditions, because it is checking on the client side.

(Creating this ticket, so I can close the ReviewBoard one).
