Matt Warhaftig updated HBASE-15641: ----------------------------------- Attachment: hbase-15641-v1.patch Attached 'hbase-15641-v1.patch' updates the shell alter to batch update all column and table modifying commands. > 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 > Assignee: Matt Warhaftig > Attachments: hbase-15641-v1.patch > > > 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)
