[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9218) HBase shell does not allow to change/assign custom table-column families attributes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13740053#comment-13740053 ] 

Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-9218:
------------------------------------------

Having ability to control custom table/CF attributes through HBase shell is a nice feature to have (coprocessors can introduce custom attributes, for example).

> HBase shell. In 0.94.6.1 the attempt to assign/change custom table or CF attribute does not throw any exception but has no affect. The same code works fine in Java API (on HTableDescriptor or HColumnDescriptor)
> This is short shell session snippet:
> {code}
> hbase(main):009:0> disable 'T'
> 0 row(s) in 18.0730 seconds
> hbase(main):010:0> alter 'T', NAME => 'df', 'FAKE' => '10'
> Updating all regions with the new schema...
> 5/5 regions updated.
> Done.
> 0 row(s) in 2.2900 seconds
> hbase(main):011:0> enable 'T'
> 0 row(s) in 18.7140 seconds
> hbase(main):012:0> describe 'T'
> DESCRIPTION                                                                                                            ENABLED
