Heng Chen commented on HBASE-16076: ----------------------------------- I think it is document error. Try command below: {code} create 'test', {METHOD => 'table_att', CONFIGURATION => {'SPLIT_POLICY' => 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy'}}, {NAME => 'cf1'} {code} > Cannot configure split policy in HBase shell > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16076 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16076 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: shell > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Youngjoon Kim > Priority: Minor > > The reference guide explains how to configure split policy in HBase > shell([link|http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_custom_split_policies]). > {noformat} > Configuring the Split Policy On a Table Using HBase Shell > hbase> create 'test', {METHOD => 'table_att', CONFIG => {'SPLIT_POLICY' => > 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy'}}, > {NAME => 'cf1'} > {noformat} > But if run that command, shell complains 'An argument ignored (unknown or > overridden): CONFIG', and the table description has no split policy. > {noformat} > hbase(main):067:0* create 'test', {METHOD => 'table_att', CONFIG => > {'SPLIT_POLICY' => > 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy'}}, {NAME > => 'cf1'} > An argument ignored (unknown or overridden): CONFIG > Created table test > Took 1.2180 seconds > hbase(main):068:0> describe 'test' > Table test is ENABLED > test > COLUMN FAMILIES DESCRIPTION > {NAME => 'cf1', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', BLOOMFILTER => 'ROW', > REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', COMPRESSION => 'NONE', VERSIONS => '1', TTL => > 'FOREVER', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', IN_MEMORY_COMPACTION => 'false', > KEEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'FALSE', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', IN_MEMORY => ' > false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'} > 1 row(s) > Took 0.0200 seconds > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
