> Sorry for being so late to the party. I don't have a strong objection against this, but I'm curious about what the use case is. If you want to create a namespace then it is best to just try to create it, and catch the exception. If you check, and then create, then a race condition might occur. You still need to handle the exception in case the namespace has been created between the check and the creation. Thank you Fokko! I guess my motivation is simply to have feature parity between namespace and table on REST APIs. So our use case is not really do check before create, as Head call on namespace resource provide ability to check existence of namespace without provide explicit namespace matdadata like properties (even though today in our default implementation it's similar to loadNamespace and return true if it can be loaded) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
