Alicia Ying Shu commented on PHOENIX-1409:
------------------------------------------
[~giacomotaylor] > Why is this new check here? It's ok to add a new column
family in an add column call.
For your question above, I mentioned it in TTL (phoenix-1240) discussion below:
ALTER TABLE T1 SET CF.TTL=86400;
The ALTER TABLE sql would throw exception because "CF" is not defined. "SET" is
only set property. We should only add new column family through ALTER TABLE ADD
(column). The added check is checking "SET" property. The data structure
"columnFamilyProps" contains only "set" properties . If adding a new column
family in an add column call, it will not be invoked.
ALTER TABLE T1 add cf.col1;
> Allow ALTER TABLE <table> SET command to update HTableDescriptor and
> HColumnDescriptor properties

> Once PHOENIX-1408 is fixed, we should allow HTableDescriptor and

> It'd just be a matter of passing these properties through the existing
