Sergey Shelukhin updated HBASE-6894:
------------------------------------
Release Note:
HBase shell 'create' and 'alter' commands have been updated as follows:
* More arguments for 'alter' can now be specified at the same time (e.g. OWNER
with other fields, etc.).
* Using METHOD => 'table_att' is no longer necessary to set table properties
during CREATE/ALTER (e.g. "alter 't1', OWNER => 'johndoe', CONFIG => { 'mykey'
=> 'myvalue' }").
* Warnings are now issued for ignored/superseded arguments (e.g. "create 't1',
'cf', SPLITS => ['10', '15'], SPLITALGO => 'SomeAlgo', NUMREGIONS => 15", or
"create 't1', { NAME => 'cf', MAX_FILESIZE => 50000 }", or typos e.g. "alter
't1', 'READONLY' => true, 'MAX_FLESIZE' => 123567")
* One can no longer create a table without column families by supplying some
non-cf argument e.g. MAX_FILESIZE.
* Some minor bug fixes.
> Adding metadata to a table in the shell is both arcane and painful

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: stack
> Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin
> Labels: noob
> Attachments: HBASE-6894.patch, HBASE-6894.patch, HBASE-6894.patch,

> In production we have hundreds of tables w/ whack names like 'aliaserv',
> 'ashish_bulk', 'age_gender_topics', etc. It be grand if you could look in
> master UI and see stuff like owner, eng group responsible, miscellaneous
> description, etc.
> Now, HTD has support for this; each carries a dictionary. Whats a PITA
> though is adding attributes to the dictionary. Here is what seems to work on
> trunk (though I do not trust it is doing the right thing):
> {code}
> hbase> create 'SOME_TABLENAME', {NAME => 'd', VERSION => 1, COMPRESSION =>
> 'LZO'}
> hbase> # Here is how I added metadata
> hbase> disable 'SOME_TABLENAME'
> hbase> alter 'SOME_TABLENAME', METHOD => 'table_att', OWNER => 'SOMEON',
> CONFIG => {'ENVIRONMENT' => 'BLAH BLAH', 'SIZING' => 'The size should be
> between 0-10K most of the time with new URLs coming in and getting removed as
> they are processed unless the pipeline has fallen behind', 'MISCELLANEOUS' =>
> 'Holds the list of URLs waiting to be processed in the parked page detection
> analyzer in ingestion pipeline.'}
> ...
> describe...
> enable...
> {code}
> The above doesn't work in 0.94. Complains about the CONFIG, the keyword we
> are using for the HTD dictionary.
> It works in 0.96 though I'd have to poke around some more to ensure it is
> doing the right thing.
> But this METHOD => 'table_att' stuff is really ugly.... can we fix it?
> And I can't add table attributes on table create seemingly.
> A little bit of thought and a bit of ruby could clean this all up.
