Mark Vigeant commented on HBASE-2006: ------------------------------------- You're absolutely right Stack, and it certainly doesn't make sense to have 2 diverging documentations that would only serve to make people more confused. I do believe though that the key configurations need to be more eloquently detailed. I like your idea Lars, but I'm not sure how to do it since I haven't used XSLT before. It sounds like it could work though; from the looks of it all the w3 tutorial all it takes is a XSL stylesheet. I think both ideas here are good and potentially very beneficial. I think that I could try to work on the XSLT transformation but it would require a much more involved committer to the project to create a more detailed summary of the key configurations (I'm thinking like how ZooKeeper is documented). Would that be too much of a hassle so early on, or should we wait until HBase 1.0.0? > Documentation of hbase-site.xml parameters > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-2006 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2006 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Reporter: Mark Vigeant > Priority: Minor > Attachments: hbase_parameters.doc > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > There is nowhere on the site or wiki a detailed examination of the parameters > behind HBase.
