infinite number of max.versions?

[Mike Hugo <mi...@piragua.com>]

I see I can use a config setting (e.g.
table.iterator.minc.vers.opt.maxVersions)
to keep x number of versions of a record within different scopes (minc,
majc, etc). Is there a way to set that to always store all versions (never
delete old versions) for keeping history?

I can probably just set this to a really large number and it would be fine
for my purposes, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

The way to do that is to remove the versioning iterator entirely. Just
delete the configuration parameters for that iterator: something like
"config -t tablename -d table.iterator.scan.vers" in the accumulo shell,
for each of the six configuration parameters.
