My understanding, which may be faulty, is the option works until a column is modified and then it fails in a difficult-to-fix manner. The jira hints that the issue could impact how clients, such as ZooKeeper, function as well as HBase.
HBase shouldn't NPE. If bloomfilters are enabled on a table where before there were none, the table should just evolve gracefully adding the filters as it runs (Same should happen when they are disabled; any filters should be gradually disposed-of).
I will continue to dig, but coming up to speed on the HBase implementation will take my time short term, can someone comment on the "client issues"?
Keep asking questions if it'll maximize the time you have for hbase. Please expand on what you mean by 'client' issues in the above. Thanks, St.Ack
