----------------------------------------
Summary: HBase shell does not allow to change/assign custom
table-columm families attributes
Key: HBASE-9218
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9218
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shell
Affects Versions: 0.94.6.1
Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov
HBase shell. In 0.94.6.1 the attempt to assign/change custom table or CF
attribute does not throw any exception but has no affect. The same code works
fine in Java API (on HTableDescriptor or HColumnDescriptor)
This is short shell session snippet:
{code}
hbase(main):009:0> disable 'T'
0 row(s) in 18.0730 seconds
hbase(main):010:0> alter 'T', NAME => 'df', 'FAKE' => '10'
Updating all regions with the new schema...
5/5 regions updated.
Done.
0 row(s) in 2.2900 seconds
hbase(main):011:0> enable 'T'
0 row(s) in 18.7140 seconds
hbase(main):012:0> describe 'T'
DESCRIPTION
ENABLED
{NAME => 'TMO_NOV-DIMENSIONS-1249171200000', FAMILIES => [{NAME => 'df',
DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', BLOOMFILTER = true
> 'NONE', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '1', COMPRESSION => 'GZ',
> MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => '2147483647', K
EEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'false', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'true',
ENCODE_ON_DISK => 'true', BLOCKCACHE => 'tru
e'}]}
{code}
As you can see, the new attribute 'FAKE' has not been added to column family
'cf'.
