Method Detail

get

TableDescriptor get(TableName tableName)
             throws IOException

Returns:

TableDescriptor for tablename

Throws:

IOException

getByNamespace

Map<String,TableDescriptor> getByNamespace(String name)
                                    throws IOException

Get Map of all NamespaceDescriptors for a given namespace.

Returns:

Map of all descriptors.

Throws:

IOException

getAll

Map<String,TableDescriptor> getAll()
                            throws IOException

Get Map of all TableDescriptors. Populates the descriptor cache as a side effect. Notice: the key of map is the table name which contains namespace. It was generated by TableName.getNameWithNamespaceInclAsString().

Returns:

Map of all descriptors.

Throws:

IOException

update

void update(TableDescriptor htd)
     throws IOException

Add or update descriptor

Parameters:

htd - Descriptor to set into TableDescriptors

Throws:

IOException

remove

TableDescriptor remove(TableName tablename)
                throws IOException

Returns:

Instance of table descriptor or null if none found.

Throws:

IOException

setCacheOn

void setCacheOn()
         throws IOException

Enables the tabledescriptor cache

Throws:

IOException

setCacheOff

void setCacheOff()
          throws IOException

Disables the tabledescriptor cache

Throws:

IOException
