[shell] Can't set table descriptor attributes when I alter a table
------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: HBASE-903
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-903
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: stack


I wanted to set the compaction filesize attribute but no good:

{code}
hbase(main):005:0> alter 'TestTable', {MAX_FILESIZE => 67108864}
TypeError: can't convert Hash into String
from /Users/stack/Documents/checkouts/hbase/trunk/bin/../bin/HBase.rb:138:in `hcd'
from /Users/stack/Documents/checkouts/hbase/trunk/bin/../bin/HBase.rb:138:in `alter'
from /Users/stack/Documents/checkouts/hbase/trunk/bin/../bin/hirb.rb:239:in `alter'
from (hbase):6:in `binding'
hbase(main):006:0> alter 'TestTable', {MAX_FILESIZE => 67108864}

{code}

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

    For now, here is a workaround:

    {code}
    hbase(main):019:0> disable 'TestTable'
    # HBaseAdmin has already been imported into the shell during startup and '@configuration' is the shells HBaseConfiguration instance.
    hbase(main):010:0> admin = HBaseAdmin.new(@configuration)
    # In my instance, only one table so can do index '0' of returned list
    hbase(main):011:0> htd = admin.listTables()[0]
    hbase(main):017:0> htd.setMaxFileSize(67108864)
    hbase(main):018:0> admin.modifyTableMeta(Bytes.toBytes('TestTable'), htd)
    hbase(main):019:0> enable 'TestTable'

    When a fix, confirm can set cache flush size too from shell -- MEMCACHE_FLUSHSIZE -- and that can set table READONLY.

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

    Fix Version/s: 0.20.0

    Updates to add to roadmap for 0.20.0.
    We should at lease support this in shell for users that do not use java to have access to these features
    Thrift and rest support can come down the road in HBASE-800

    Patch that changes "alter" so it accepts something like :

    alter 't1', {METHOD => 'table', MAX_FILESIZE => '10485760', MEMCACHE_FLUSHSIZE => '1048576', READONLY => 'true'}

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

    +1 I tested it and it works. Nice fix for shell functonality. Only think I'd change, though I would not put this in the way of the commit, is the method name. 'table' is super generic. 'table_attributes' seems a bit long. I'll live if 'table' goes in but maybe you have a better name j-d?

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

    Thanks for the review and trying my patch, I changed "table" to "table_att". I committed this to trunk but I think it fixes something important so I would put it in 0.19 branch unless someone has an objection.
