The column families configured for this table, mapped by column family ID. Views: SCHEMA_VIEW

Set to true to make the table protected against data loss. i.e. deleting the following resources through Admin APIs are prohibited: * The table. * The column families in the table. * The instance containing the table. Note one can still delete the data stored in the table through Data APIs.
Immutable. The granularity (i.e. MILLIS
) at which timestamps are stored in this table. Timestamps not matching the granularity will be rejected. If unspecified at creation time, the value will be set to MILLIS

.
The optional list of row keys that will be used to initially split the table into several tablets (tablets are similar to HBase regions). Given two split keys, s1
and s2
, three tablets will be created, spanning the key ranges: [, s1), [s1, s2), [s2, )
. Example: * Row keys := ["a", "apple", "custom", "customer_1", "customer_2",
"other", "zz"]
* initial_split_keys := ["apple", "customer_1", "customer_2", "other"]
* Key assignment: - Tablet 1 [, apple) => {"a"}.
- Tablet 2 [apple, customer_1) => {"apple", "custom"}.
- Tablet 3 [customer_1, customer_2) => {"customer_1"}.
- Tablet 4 [customer_2, other) => {"customer_2"}.
- Tablet 5 [other, ) => {"other", "zz"}.
Only available with STATS_VIEW, this includes summary statistics about the entire table contents. For statistics about a specific column family, see ColumnFamilyStats in the mapped ColumnFamily collection above.
