Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5335:
--------------------------------------
We were just discussing here at SFDC to add a generalized way to serialized
Configurations into a HTableDescriptor. What you propose is much cleaner than
what we had in mind. So +1 :)
Are you planning some kind of classification theme to distinguish config
settings that only make sense globally from those that make sense per CF/Table?
Short term I was planning to add the ability to set arbitrary HTableDescriptor
value through the shell, I'll hold of on that.

> Currently, the ability for a core developer to add per-table & per-CF
> configuration settings is very heavyweight. You need to add a reserved
> keyword all the way up the stack & you have to support this variable
> long-term if you're going to expose it explicitly to the user. This has
> ended up with using Configuration.get() a lot because it is lightweight and
> you can tweak settings while you're trying to understand system behavior
> [since there are many config params that may never need to be tuned]. We
> need to add the ability to put & read arbitrary KV settings in the HBase
> schema. Combined with online schema change, this will allow us to safely
> iterate on configuration settings.
