CHANGE column" operation > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2395 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2395 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Reporter: Bryan Duxbury > Assignee: stack > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: 2395-v2.patch, 2395.patch > > > Right now, you can add or delete column families, but not change them once > they are created. This is really inconvenient for things like adding > compression or bloom filters to a column family once you get going. As new > people come to HBase, they're going to make schema decisions that are > incorrect and will need a way to modify their tables, so this is an important > new feature. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
