Description

As per jrottinghuis's suggestion in YARN-3411, it will be a good idea to have a configurable prefix for hbase table names.

This way we can easily run a staging, a test, a production and whatever setup in the same HBase instance / without having to override every single table in the config.
One could simply overwrite the default prefix and you're off and running.
For prefix, potential candidates are "tst" "prod" "exp" etc. Once can then still override one tablename if needed, but managing one whole setup will be easier.
