Examples
Creating a new namespace without properties
hbase(main):020:0> create_namespace 'ns1' Took 0.2599 seconds
Including a table into the created namespace
Namespace membership is defined while table creation by specifying a fully-qualified table name in the form: <namespace_name>:<table_name>.
|
NOTE
For all subsequent accesses to the table, it is required to specify the full table name: <namespace_name>:<table_name>.

hbase(main):021:0> create 'ns1:table1','f1' Created table ns1:table1 Took 1.3259 seconds => Hbase::Table - ns1:table1
