Lars Francke commented on HBASE-800:
------------------------------------
Thrift will have modifyTable, getTableDescriptor and createTable with a
TableDescriptor with the new Thrift API developed in HBASE-1744. This would
solve a part of this ticket.
> support HTD and HCD get/set attribute in shell, Thrift, and REST interfaces

> Project: Hadoop HBase

> Components: client, rest, thrift
> Affects Versions: 0.2.1
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor

> From Billy Pearson on hbase-users@
> Hey Andrew
> Do we have plans to include setMaxFileSize for the shell,thrift,rest?
> So non java users can change this as needed with out having to learn java.

> > Hello David,
> >
> > Current trunk (upcoming 0.2.0) has support for per-table metadata. See
> > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-42 and
> > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-62.
> >
> > So maybe you can set the split threshold quite low for the table in
> > question?
> >
> > The default is 256MB (268435456), set globally for all tables in the HBase
> > configuration as "hbase.hregion.max.filesize". However it's reasonable to
> > set it as low as the DFS blocksize. The guidance for a typical HBase
> > installation is to set the DFS blocksize to 8MB (8388608), instead of the
> > default 64MB.
> >
> > At create time:
> >
> > HTableDescriptor htd = new HTableDescriptor("foo");
> > htd.setMaxFileSize(8388608);
> > ...
> > HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(hconf);
> > admin.createTable(htd);
> >
> > If the table already exists:
> >
> > HTable table = new HTable(hconf, "foo");
> > admin.disableTable("foo");
> > // make a read-write descriptor
> > HTableDescriptor htd =
> > new HTableDescriptor(table.getTableDescriptor());
> > htd.setMaxFileSize(83388608);
> > admin.modifyTableMeta("foo", htd);
> > admin.enableTable("foo");

> > Hope this helps,
