Sorry, CF must not be fake, I suppose (because its region coprocessor) put.add(REAL_COLUMN_FAMILY, "flag".getBytes(),"true".getBytes());
'flag' is the fake column. You have to process these columns in your Coprocessor and extract them.

One Feasible approaches is to change a value in table descriptor, but then I need to restart the table. Is there a way to pass a parameter using an API, say, from an endpoint, to an observer? Another way to ask this question is, is there a shared variable between an observer, and an endpoint, in a common table?
