James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1409:
---------------------------------------
bq. Should we follow the rule that if a property does not specify column family
name, we make it to default column family?
Do it the way we discussed already.
bq. The ALTER TABLE sql would throw exception because "CF" is not defined.
"SET" is only set property.
That's reasonable, but rather than getting an HBaseAdmin and making a server
roundtrip, check if the column family is defined in the PTable for this
determination.
Thanks [~ayingshu] & [~samarthjain] - I think you're getting close. Let me know
when there's another patch to review.

> Once PHOENIX-1408 is fixed, we should allow HTableDescriptor and
> HColumnDescriptor properties through the ALTER TABLE <table> SET command.
> It'd just be a matter of passing these properties through the existing
> methods, as we support this for CREATE TABLE.
