I tried "help update column family". It gave me : *valid attributes are: - column_type: Super or Standard - comment: Human-readable column family description. Any string is acceptable - rows_cached: Number or percentage of rows to cache - row_cache_save_period: Period with which to persist the row cache, in seconds - keys_cached: Number or percentage of keys to cache - key_cache_save_period: Period with which to persist the key cache, in seconds - read_repair_chance: Probability (0.0-1.0) with which to perform read repairs on CL.ONE reads - gc_grace: Discard tombstones after this many seconds - column_metadata: null - memtable_operations: Flush memtables after this many operations - memtable_throughput: ... or after this many bytes have been written - memtable_flush_after: ... or after this many seconds - default_validation_class: null - min_compaction_threshold: Avoid minor compactions of less than this number of sstable files - max_compaction_threshold: Compact no more than this number of sstable files at once - column_metadata: Metadata which describes columns of column family. Supported format is [{ k:v, k:v, ... }, { ... }, ...] Valid attributes: column_name, validation_class (see comparator), index_type (integer), index_name.
*So what is to be used ? And also if possible please provide information on how do that in Java using Hector. Thank you. Vedarth Kulkarni, TYBSc (Computer Science).
