[shell] Altering a family shouldn't reset to default unchanged attributes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2984
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 0.90.0
I changed the replication on a family that was also VERSIONS => 1 and
COMPRESSION => LZO. I forgot that you have to respecify everything everytime
you alter a family, so both were reset to 3 and NONE. Then the regions were
compacted... and it has been splitting for about 20 minutes now. Fortunately
this is our MR environment so our web site isn't affected, but it's still a
major pain. Oh and also the table cannot be disabled to be re-altered since
split parents are always present (I hope it'll stop splitting before midnight).
The shell should use the old values for attributes that aren't changed.
