Andrew Purtell resolved HBASE-3118. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed We sanity check descriptors passed in for admin actions now. > HBaseAdmin.createTable and modifyTable should have a family check > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3118 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.20.6 > Environment: 0.20.6, Linux, Java 1.6+ > Reporter: Vaibhav Puranik > > Currently HBaseAdmin.modifyTable does not check whether any family is > supplied or not. I can execute this method without supplying any families and > that puts the table in inconsistent state. > In my opinion, modifyTable should let you modifyTable without overwriting. > But looks like it doesn't do that. This can be very dangerous as you can end > up overwriting a table in production and loose data. But if we are going to > keep the behavior then at least some checks should be added to make it safer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
