["Enis Soztutar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12967?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Enis Soztutar resolved HBASE-12967.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

We already load the Region Split Policy class in sanity checking for the table description in alter table in all 0.98+ branches:

{code}
  private void checkClassLoading(final Configuration conf, final HTableDescriptor htd)
  throws IOException {
    RegionSplitPolicy.getSplitPolicyClass(htd, conf);
    RegionCoprocessorHost.testTableCoprocessorAttrs(conf, htd);
  }
{code}

Resolving this as not a problem.

> A user tries to alter a table with a new split policy.  Due to an invalid classname the table does not get enabled and the table becomes unusable.  I think Procedure V2 is a long term soln for this but I think we atleast need to provide a work around or a set of steps to come out of this.  Any fix before Procedure V2 comes into place would useful for the already released versions.
