             Summary: Stripe and Date-tiered compactions inaccurately suggest disabling table in docs
                 Key: HBASE-15981
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15981
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Bryan Beaudreault
            Priority: Minor


{{hbase.online.schema.update.enable}} is set to true in later versions of HBase. However, the documentation in the book around configuration Stripe and Date-tiered compactions instruct the user to disable a table before changing configuration. According to Enis on the user list, this is not necessary:

Disabling the table should not be needed. From the stripe compaction
perspective, deploying this in a disabled table versus in an online alter
table is not different at all. The "hbase.online.schema.update.enable"
property was fixing some possible race conditions that were fixed long time
ago.

We should update the book to remove this inaccurate messaging.
