I believe this is a limitation from hbase shell, where it provides no means to set a null value for a column family property. An alternative would be to use Java Client API, below a code example:
Configuration configuration = HBaseConfiguration.create(); try(Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(configuration)){ Admin admin = connection.getAdmin(); ColumnFamilyDescriptorBuilder descriptorBuilder = ColumnFamilyDescriptorBuilder.newBuilder(Bytes.toBytes(args[1])); descriptorBuilder.setEncryptionType(null); admin.modifyColumnFamily(TableName.valueOf(args[0]), descriptorBuilder.build()); } finally { } If you really want/need to have this functionality working from shell, then an alternative would be to create your own Master coprocessor, where in preModifyTable method you would check the ColumnFamilyDescriptor value for ENCRYPTION property, replacing 'NONE' or '' values by null.
