Hi all, I decided I didn't need to keep around extra versions for one of my tables, so I went in to the shell and changed the VERSION attribute for the column families to 1. I described the table and noticed that it was no longer using compression. So I changed the compression attribute, and now the version attribute is back to 3. This seems counter-intuitive to me: if I specify only one attribute to change in a table, I expect that the rest of the attributes to be unchanged and not to revert to default.
