-----------------------------------------
Summary: Stripe and Date-tiered compactions inaccurately suggest
disabling table in docs
Key: HBASE-15981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15981
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Bryan Beaudreault
Priority: Minor
{{hbase.online.schema.update.enable}} is set to true in later versions of
HBase. However, the documentation in the book around configuration Stripe and
Date-tiered compactions instruct the user to disable a table before changing
configuration. According to Enis on the user list, this is not necessary:
{quote}
Disabling the table should not be needed. From the stripe compaction
perspective, deploying this in a disabled table versus in an online alter
table is not different at all. The "hbase.online.schema.update.enable"
property was fixing some possible race conditions that were fixed long time
ago.

We should update the book to remove this inaccurate messaging.
