ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-4815: ----------------------------------------------- Thanks Ted and Stack. I did not observe the failure as i had left the office by that time.. Regarding the config update in hbase-default.xml i was not very clear if it was needed. Thanks Stack for taking care of it. :) > Disable online altering by default, create a config for it > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4815 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4815 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: 0.92.0 > Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: 4815-v2.txt, 4815.addendum, 4815.patch > > > There's a whole class of bugs that we've been revealing from trying out > online altering in conjunction with other operations like splitting. > HBASE-4729, HBASE-4794, and HBASE-4814 are examples. > It's not so much that the online altering code is buggy, but that it wasn't > tested in an environment that permits splitting. > I think we should mark online altering as experimental in 0.92 and add a > config to enable it (so it would be disabled by default, requiring people to > enable for altering table schema). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
