Jean-Daniel Cryans updated HBASE-2984:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: 2984-meta-offline-fixer.patch
If it ever happens to anyone else (I didn't want to wait for eternity for all
the regions to split), here's a path that makes MetaUtils runnable and that
resets the schema like I wanted it for the specified table. Tailor it to your
own need. (yes it's super hacky, kids don't try this at home!)
> [shell] Altering a family shouldn't reset to default unchanged attributes

> 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.
