[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-5335) Dynamic Schema Configurations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5335?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13244780#comment-13244780 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-5335:
------------------------------

Can you make a patch for trunk Nicolas.  Lets get this in.....

Should you doc this new behavior:

{code}
+    if (value == null) {
+      remove(Bytes.toBytes(key));
{code}

Should this be hasReservedKeywords rather than hasAdvancedKeys?

{code}
+      if (!RESERVED_KEYWORDS.contains(k)) {
+        hasAdvancedKeys = true;
{code}

Yeah, whats ADVANCED vs RESERVER_KEYWORDS?

> Currently, the ability for a core developer to add per-table & per-CF configuration settings is very heavyweight.  You need to add a reserved keyword all the way up the stack & you have to support this variable long-term if you're going to expose it explicitly to the user.  This has ended up with using Configuration.get() a lot because it is lightweight and you can tweak settings while you're trying to understand system behavior [since there are many config params that may never need to be tuned].  We need to add the ability to put & read arbitrary KV settings in the HBase schema.  Combined with online schema change, this will allow us to safely iterate on configuration settings.
