question about HTableDescriptor
I am looking at the following protected HTableDescriptor's constructor,
but i can't figure out the purpose of the
Map<ImmutableBytesWritable,ImmutableBytesWritable>
values ? What does it contain?
protected HTableDescriptor(final byte [] name, HColumnDescriptor[]
families,
Map<ImmutableBytesWritable,ImmutableBytesWritable> values)
Thank you,

That's really good explanation! Thanks alot :D
Have a good day !

Re: question about HTableDescriptor

You can see this from the first few lines in the HTableDescriptor.java, i.e.
public static final String FAMILIES = "FAMILIES";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable FAMILIES_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(FAMILIES));
public static final String MAX_FILESIZE = "MAX_FILESIZE";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable MAX_FILESIZE_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(MAX_FILESIZE));
public static final String READONLY = "READONLY";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable READONLY_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(READONLY));
public static final String MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE = "MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE));
public static final String IS_ROOT = "IS_ROOT";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable IS_ROOT_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(IS_ROOT));
public static final String IS_META = "IS_META";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable IS_META_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(IS_META));
public static final String DEFERRED_LOG_FLUSH = "DEFERRED_LOG_FLUSH";
public static final ImmutableBytesWritable DEFERRED_LOG_FLUSH_KEY =
new ImmutableBytesWritable(Bytes.toBytes(DEFERRED_LOG_FLUSH));
These are the "keys" in the map and the "value" are whatever the key
is expecting, so could be true/false or a number. They are set using
"setValue()" throughout the code like so:
/**
* @return memory cache flush size for each hregion
*/
public long getMemStoreFlushSize() {
byte [] value = getValue(MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE_KEY);
if (value != null)
return Long.valueOf(Bytes.toString(value)).longValue();
return DEFAULT_MEMSTORE_FLUSH_SIZE;
}
/**
* @param memstoreFlushSize memory cache flush size for each hregion
*/
public void setMemStoreFlushSize(long memstoreFlushSize) {
setValue(MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE_KEY,
Bytes.toBytes(Long.toString(memstoreFlushSize)));
}
That constructor is mainly used to create a clone of the HTD with the
current value map, i.e. every current property of the HTD other than
the name and column family map.

Thank you but I would like to know what kinds of key value pairs that
serve as the table descriptors in the values map. I know the column
map stores the column name & column descriptor pair as the map entry.
I should spend more time on the codes again tomorrow.

Hi,
Did you read the comment above?
/**
* Private constructor used internally creating table descriptors for
* catalog tables: e.g. .META. and -ROOT-.
*/
Explains it, no?
