----------------------------------

             Summary: HBase book documentation wrong for REST operations on schema endpoints
                 Key: HBASE-20581
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20581
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser


On [https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_using_rest_endpoints]

The documentation states that to update a table schema (the configuration for a column family), the {{PUT}} HTTP verb will update the current configuration with the "fragment" of configuration provided, while the {{POST}} HTTP verb will replace the current configuration with whatever is provided.

In reality, the opposite is true: {{POST}} updates the configuration, {{PUT}} replaces. The old javadoc for the o.a.h.h.rest package got it right, but the entry on the HBase book transposed this.
