Just offline the table, enable compression and all subsequent data
flushed or compressed will be compressed. It should just work.
Things to look out for are making sure the lzo libs are installed on
each node:

If running w/ 0.90.0, see a recent thread on memory issues to pick up
a patch that seems to have quelled lzo issues when running hbase
0.90.0.

Ahoy Hoy,
I have several tables I setup when I first learned HBase and I
didn't enable compression. These tables are in use. I was wondering if
it is possible to enable LZO compression 'on the fly'. I read you can
disable the table and then alter it and I tried that on a test table
and it seemed to work. If I enable compression on a large table what
sort of issues should I look for? What are the recommended steps?
Thanks
