> starting point for a more detailed explanation of alter
> HBASE SHELL COMMANDS:
> alter Alter column family schema; pass table name and a dictionary

> of column family to alter. For example,

> to instead keep a maximum of 5 cell VERSIONS, do:
> hbase> alter 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
> To delete the 'f1' column family in table 't1', do:
> hbase> alter 't1', {NAME => 'f1', METHOD => 'delete'}
> You can also change table-scope attributes like MAX_FILESIZE
> MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE and READONLY.
> For example, to change the max size of a family to 128MB, do:
> hbase> alter 't1', {METHOD => 'table_att', MAX_FILESIZE =>
> '134217728'}
