Perfect. One quick followup, if I can: should this work on a table with a ton of data in it?
My create index command ran for about 10 minutes, and then failed with this error: [CREATE - 0 row(s), 0.000 secs] [Error Code: 101, SQL State: 08000] null Any ideas?

Not sure which of those you'd need to add it to - maybe all of them to be safe? See https://phoenix.apache.org/secondary_indexing.html#Setup for a full list of properties you need For (3): Yes, should be hbase-site.xml. Thanks for letting us know.

I used this syntax: create index fma_er_keyed_gz_endpoint_id_include_sample_point on fma.er_keyed_gz_meterkey_split_custid (endpoint_id) include (sample_point) SALT_BUCKETS = 550; and I get this error: [Error Code: 1029, SQL State: 42Y88] ERROR 1029 (42Y88): Mutable secondary indexes must have the hbase.regionserver.wal.codec property set to org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.wal.IndexedWALEditCodec in the hbase-sites.xml of every region server tableName=FMA_ER_KEYED_GZ_ENDPOINT_ID_INCLUDE_SAMPLE_POINT I have 2 questions and 1 (tiny) bug: 1) This table wasn’t declared as immutable, but functionally, it is. Is there a way to alter the table to add the IMMUTABLE_ROWS property so that this will work? The table has over 10 billion rows, so I don’t want to recreate it if I can help it. 2) My region servers have all the following hbase-site.xml files. Which one(s) do I alter? And do I need to restart hbase afterwards? /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.1.GlusterFS/services/HBASE/configuration/hbase-site.xml /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.2/services/HBASE/configuration/hbase-site.xml /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.0.6.GlusterFS/services/HBASE/configuration/hbase-site.xml /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/1.3.2/services/HBASE/configuration/hbase-site.xml /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/HBASE/configuration/hbase-site.xml /usr/hdp/2.2.0.0-2041/etc/hbase/conf.dist/hbase-site.xml /usr/hdp/2.2.0.0-2041/phoenix/bin/hbase-site.xml 3) In the error message, hbase-sites.xml should be hbase-site.xml, correct? Thanks!
