Description

When changing the name attribute of a CASTable object, it does not propagate to the actual underlying CAS table. I have tried setting the name with setattr(), but this does not work.

I would be nice to have a method that can change the name of a CASTable.

Research direction

Start by locating the CASTable object and its name handling, then examine how the client addresses the underlying CAS table. Check whether the CAS API exposes a table-rename operation and how existing tests cover CASTable metadata changes. Done means a supported rename method changes both the CASTable name and the actual CAS table consistently.
