Ted Yu created HBASE-17934: ------------------------------ Summary: Backport HBASE-17779 "disable_table_replication returns misleading message and does not turn off replication" to branch-1.3 Key: HBASE-17934 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17934 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Ted Yu Fix For: 1.3.2
Currently HBaseAdmin#isTableRepEnabled() returns false if ANY of the columns families is not replicated. Because of this if you have a table where replication is partially enabled, calling disable_table_replication will not have any effect, but will report that replication for a given table is disabled. Workaround is enabling table replication before disabling. As a solution quoted from HBASE-17460: Admin#disableTableReplication() returns nothing and isTableRepEnabled() returns boolean. For master branch, we can let isTableRepEnabled() return enum (partially disabled, disabled, etc) This way, Admin#disableTableReplication() can return meaningful value to the user. This issue is to backport the fix to branch-1.3 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
