hbase(main):005:0> describe 't3' Table t3 is ENABLED t3 COLUMN FAMILIES DESCRIPTION {NAME => 'cf', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', BLOOMFILTER => 'ROW', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '1', COMPRESSION => 'NONE', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => 'FOREVER', KEEP_ DELETED_CELLS => 'FALSE', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true', CONFIGURATION => {'hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size' => '1048576'}} I use 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT FYI On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 6:05 AM, Jeesoo Shin <bsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I tried to change hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size for a table but it > didn't work. > (just wanted to see if I can set different memstore size for each table) > create 't1', {NAME => 'cf', CONFIGURATION => > {'hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size' => '1048576'}} > > What can I set with CONFIGURATION? > Any document listing it? > > TIA. >
