Oops, spoke too soon. Looks like owner was deprecated back in HBASE-6188, but is still sticking around (e.g. you can get it from HTableDescriptor with getOwnerString and we even updated our TestAccessController to include it). Not sure why it remains deprecated after all this time, so maybe someone more seasoned than me can explain the justification…
Things like replication_scope can be seen by using ‘describe' from the HBase shell. Other metadata (e.g. modified time) is not kept for HBase tables as far as I’m aware. -Dima On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 12:44 AM, Dima Spivak <dspi...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Hi Kumar, > > Which version of HBase do you run?
