Creating Highly Available HBase Tables with the HBase Shell

HBase Shell

Valid values are 1, 2, and 3, indicating the total number of copies. The default value is 1.

The following example creates a table named t1 that is replicated to one secondary replica:

    CREATE 't1', 'f1', {REGION_REPLICATION => 2}

To replicate t1 to two secondary regions, set REGION_REPLICATION to 3:

    CREATE 't1', 'f1', {REGION_REPLICATION => 3}
