[jira] Commented: (HBASE-800) support HTD and HCD get/set attribute in shell, Thrift, and REST interfaces

["Lars Francke (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-800?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12785107#action_12785107 ] 

Lars Francke commented on HBASE-800:
------------------------------------

Thrift will have modifyTable, getTableDescriptor and createTable with a TableDescriptor with the new Thrift API developed in HBASE-1744. This would solve a part of this ticket.

> Hey Andrew
> Do we have plans to include setMaxFileSize for the shell,thrift,rest?
> So non java users can change this as needed with out having to learn java.

> > Current trunk (upcoming 0.2.0) has support for per-table metadata. See

> > The default is 256MB (268435456), set globally for all tables in the HBase
> > configuration as "hbase.hregion.max.filesize". However it's reasonable to
> > set it as low as the DFS blocksize. The guidance for a typical HBase
> > installation is to set the DFS blocksize to 8MB (8388608), instead of the
> > default 64MB.
> >
> > At create time:
> >
> >  HTableDescriptor htd = new HTableDescriptor("foo");
> >  htd.setMaxFileSize(8388608);
> >  ...
> >  HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(hconf);
> >  admin.createTable(htd);
> >
> > If the table already exists:
> >
> >  HTable table = new HTable(hconf, "foo");
> >  admin.disableTable("foo");
> >  // make a read-write descriptor
> >  HTableDescriptor htd =
> >    new HTableDescriptor(table.getTableDescriptor());
> >  htd.setMaxFileSize(83388608);
> >  admin.modifyTableMeta("foo", htd);
> >  admin.enableTable("foo");
