Hi. Ability to override configuration via HTD and HCD was added in HBASE-7236/HBASE-7571 some time ago; now any setting used in HRegion (and friends) can be overridden via HTD, and any setting used in HStore (and friends) can be overridden via both HTD and HCD. Last remaining unresolved child of HBASE-7236 is HBASE-7572, which would remove existing HTD properties that duplicate configuration settings, such as MAX_FILESIZE (with backward compat). Arguably, some other properties on HCD and HTD that currently only exist there would also make more sense as normal override-able configuration settings.
What is your opinion on HBASE-7572 (not the patch but the general idea, patch will probably need to be rebased by now)? I want to either get it in some form, or resolve as not necessary, keeping the old HTD fields. Thanks.
