You can change table settings in the shell. To start the shell: HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase shell
To see some examples for the "alter" command, just type it without any arguments. Here's an example for this case: describe 'MyTable' disable 'MyTable' alter 'MyTable', METHOD => 'table_att', MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE => '268435456' describe 'MyTable' enable 'MyTable' On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 4:41 AM, Michel Segel <michael_se...@hotmail.com>wrote: > Here's a key statement: > Again, I am on grid which is used by many others, and the machines in my > cluster are not dedicated to my job.
