Description

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?
