---------------------------------------------

             Summary: ModifyTable does not  modify the attributes of a newly modified/changed ColumnDescriptor
                 Key: HBASE-9872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9872
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
            Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
             Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.94.13, 0.96.1


This issue (if it is an expected behaviour I can close this) exists in all versions.
If i do modifyColumn and change an HCDs parameter I am able to get back the modified HCD with the latest data.
But when i do modifyTable and in that modify an HCD parameter say for eg. the SCOPE of it then as we don't persist the HCD information as in TableModifyFamilyHandler used for modifycolumn
{code}
  HTableDescriptor htd =
      this.masterServices.getMasterFileSystem().modifyColumn(tableName, familyDesc);
{code}
we are not able to get the updated HCD information on the RegionServer.  So incases of replication where I need to modify the HCD's scope we are not able to make the replication happen.
