    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7065?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13486473#comment-13486473 ] 

Ted Yu commented on HBASE-7065:
-------------------------------

I think one schema update is better.
The example above isn't syntactically correct though.
To change MAX_FILESIZE, here is the syntax:
{code}
  hbase> alter 't1', METHOD => 'table_att', MAX_FILESIZE => '134217728'
{code}
                
> alter table with multiple actions should do just one schema update (shell)

> In the shell, when one runs alter command with multiple things to do (e.g. "alter 't1', 'f1', { NAME => 'f2', VERSIONS => 5 }, { 'delete' => 'f3' }, MAX_FILESIZE => 1232353") the shell does the schema update after each action.
> I'd assume it takes a long time on large clusters, and can also be unexpected from the logical perspective, especially if it fails in the middle for example.
> Should it do one schema update instead?
