-------------------------------

Here's a link to [~shrijeet]'s java code snippet that seems to work (may need extra disable/enable and a hbck -fix afterwards though): https://gist.github.com/3913529. This was posted on the user lists.

> It would be nice to be able to rename tables, if this is possible.  Some of our internal users are doing things like: upload table mytable -> realize they screwed up -> upload table mytable_2 -> decide mytable_2 looks better -> have to go on using mytable_2 instead of originally desired table name.
