Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2370:
---------------------------------------
Integer.MAX_VALUE would be fine when you're coding in Java, but we need
something for the shell. Could we do:
<code>
CREATE TABLE whatever ('column_fam' MAX_VERSIONS=-1);
</code>
Or something like that?
> [hbase] Allow column families with an unlimited number of versions

> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Trivial
>
> For some applications, you'll want to be able to create column families that
> never eliminate their old version, essentially keeping a permanent record. We
> should support this option when creating a table, or if it already exists, it
> should be documented.
