Gary Helmling created HBASE-15641: ------------------------------------- Summary: Shell "alter" should do a single modifyTable operation Key: HBASE-15641 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15641 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: shell Reporter: Gary Helmling
When performing an "alter" on multiple column families in a table, then shell will perform a separate {{Admin.modifyColumn()}} call for each column family being modified, with all of the table regions being bulk-reopened each time. It would be much better to simply apply all the changes to the table descriptor, then do a single call to {{Admin.modifyTable()}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
