Sergey Shelukhin created HBASE-7237: ---------------------------------------
Summary: system metadata for tables/cfs needs to be validated on the master Key: HBASE-7237 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7237 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin Priority: Minor shell currently validates what used provides with alter, however while looking at some other issue I noticed that user and system metadata is stored in the same dictionary on the server, so it is easy to bypass by setting a "user" metadata parameter with the same name as the system parameter. E.g. I just set MAX_FILESIZE to "moo" via CONFIG. This can be fixed in the shell, however the general problem I think is that system configuration should be validated server-side (e.g. on the master), not just on the client. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
