I am looking for a command which describes the columnfamily inside the table from the HBase Shell. I could not get any command to try this.
If you use the describe
command from the hbase shell
you'll get the information for each column family.
Currently, there is no way to filter on a single family.
Example:
hbase(main):003:0> describe 'TABLE_NAME'
'TABLE_NAME',
{NAME => 'FAMILY_NAME',
DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE',
BLOOMFILTER => 'ROW',
REPLICATION_ true
SCOPE => '0',
VERSIONS => '1',
COMPRESSION => 'NONE',
MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => '2147483647',
KEEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'false',
BLOCKSIZE => '65536',
IN_MEMORY => 'false',
BLOCKCACHE => 'true'
}
