----------------------------------
Summary: HBase book documentation wrong for REST operations on
schema endpoints
Key: HBASE-20581
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20581
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Reporter: Josh Elser
Assignee: Josh Elser
On [https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_using_rest_endpoints]
The documentation states that to update a table schema (the configuration for a
column family), the {{PUT}} HTTP verb will update the current configuration
with the "fragment" of configuration provided, while the {{POST}} HTTP verb
will replace the current configuration with whatever is provided.
In reality, the opposite is true: {{POST}} updates the configuration, {{PUT}}
replaces. The old javadoc for the o.a.h.h.rest package got it right, but the
entry on the HBase book transposed this.
