Mapping Phoenix Schemas to HBase Namespaces

You can map a Phoenix schema to an HBase namespace to gain multitenancy features in Phoenix.

HBase, the underlying storage engine for Phoenix, has namespaces to support multi-tenancy features. Multitenancy helps an HBase user or administrator to perform access control and quota management tasks. Also, namespaces enable tighter control of where a particular data set is stored on RegionsServers.
