Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-8361: -------------------------------------- Thanks for review and commit Stack. > Bulk load and other utilities should not create tables for user > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8361 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8361 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapreduce > Reporter: Nick Dimiduk > Assignee: Ashish Singhi > Fix For: 2.0.0, 0.98.8, 0.99.2 > > Attachments: HBASE-8361.patch > > > {{LoadIncrementalHFiles}} and {{ImportTsv}} will create a table with the > default setting when the target table does not exist. I think this is an > anti-feature. Neither tool provide a mechanism for the user to configure the > creation parameters of that table, resulting in a new table with the default > settings. I think it is unlikely that the default settings are what the user > actually wants. In the event of a table-name typo, that means data is > silently loaded into the wrong place. The tools should error when the > destination table does not exist. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
