Artem Ervits created HBASE-21536: ------------------------------------ Summary: Fix completebulkload usage instructions Key: HBASE-21536 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21536 Project: HBase Issue Type: Task Components: documentation, mapreduce Reporter: Artem Ervits Assignee: Artem Ervits
Usage information upon invoking LoadIncrementalHFiles is misleading and error-prone. {code:java} usage: completebulkload /path/to/hfileoutputformat-output tablename -loadTable -Dcreate.table=no - can be used to avoid creation of table by this tool Note: if you set this to 'no', then the target table must already exist in HBase -loadTable implies your baseDirectory to store file has a depth of 3 ,you must have an existing table -Dignore.unmatched.families=yes - can be used to ignore unmatched column families{code} in case of invoking the class via hbase command, completebulkload argument is unnecessary and only required via hadoop jar invocation. This is also an attempt to clarify where <-loadTable> and <-Dargs> arguments go on the command line. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
