[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-2159) wikisearch example should allow user to choose protobuf on/off

["William Slacum (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13866310#comment-13866310 ] 

William Slacum commented on ACCUMULO-2159:
------------------------------------------

I don't think turning on or off is a good idea. What's the root of the issue for you-- that the values aren't human readable when scanning via the shell? That can be helped with the use of a formatter on the table.

I think some better (or any, it appears) documentation would be better than getting rid of the value.

> Wikisearch example is great for users new to Accumulo for understanding the concepts of indexing. However since the k/v are protobuf encoded it makes it harder for a new user to understand the relationship of the base table to the indexing table, etc.
> Perhaps there should be a flag that turns this on / off during ingest.
