Re: removing ttl

[Jean-Marc Spaggiari]

Have you tried something like

alter 't1', METHOD = 'table_att_unset', NAME = 'TTL'

?

And I don't think you will need to rewrite anything.

 I need to remove the TTL setting from an existing HBase table and remove the
 TTL from all existing rows. I think this is the proper command for removing
 the TTL setting:

 alter 't', {NAME = 'cf', TTL = '2147483647'}

 After doing this, do I need to rewrite all the existing data to remove the
 TTL for each cell, perhaps using the IdentityMapper M/R job?

 Thanks

TTL is enforced when compactions are running so there's no need to
rewrite the data. The alter is sufficient.
