Hello,

I would like to increase the max cell size in one of my Hbase tables. Just got 
an error msg when trying to insert something about 12 Meg in size that said

  KeyValue size too large

I presume that I'm using the default cell max size at present - I cannot find 
anything regarding cell size in the conf files, so the default setting must be 
being used.

How do I increase the max size allowed? For example, if I want to allow a 
string of up to 20 Meg in size, which conf file do I change, and what is the 
precise wording?

I googled around and found a note on MAX_LENGTH, but it is unclear how to set 
it and where. Do I do something like

 MAX_LENGTH=20

 in the conf//hbase-env.sh  file?

And, if that works, do I need to restart Hbase and then recreate all the tables 
in which I want to use the new max cell size?

 Cheers,
  Ron
