Enable/Disable is kinda flakey in hbase 0.20. If on 0.20.1, it should be a
bit better. This'll be fixed in 0.21.
Meantime, see TestAdmin. It hangs around till its sure table is
enabled/disabled. Can you add this to your tests?
You might also change your test code so you add the columns to the table
descriptor so on creation it has all column families rather than create,
disable and then add.
There are no restrictions regards column names, etc., regards enable/disable
that I'm aware of.
Are you making a table of 30 column families? Try less.
Why not just let out this exception?
this.config = new HBaseConfiguration();
try {
admin = new HBaseAdmin(config);
} catch(MasterNotRunningException e) {
throw new Exception("Could not setup HBaseAdmin as no master is
running...");
}
Yours,
