Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2984: ------------------------------------------- @Kannan, looks like I broke something, can you open a new jira? > [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 > Assignee: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.90.0 > > Attachments: 2984-meta-offline-fixer.patch, HBASE-2984.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
