How to remove configuration setting on Hbase?

[#1]

Currently I have a table with settings that look like this:

hbase(main):020:0> describe 'my_table'
Table my_table is ENABLED                                                                                                                                                                      
hdfs_storage_metadata, {CONFIGURATION => {'kafka.notification.broker' => 'kafka:6667,kafka1:6667,kafka2:6667', 'kafka.notification.health.topic
' => 'Kafka-topic', 'kafka.some.topic' => 'some-coprocessor'}}                                                                                                                  
COLUMN FAMILIES DESCRIPTION                                                                                                                                                                                 
{NAME => 'm', BLOOMFILTER => 'ROW', VERSIONS => '1', IN_MEMORY => 'false', KEEP_DELETED_CELLS => 'FALSE', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'NONE', TTL => 'FOREVER', COMPRESSION => 'SNAPPY', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', BLO
CKCACHE => 'true', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '1'} 

However, I am trying to enable cross-cluster replication and am getting an error because my configuration settings are not the same for these tables. I need to remove the CONFIGURATIONsetting, but I cannot find a method with which to do it. I have looked at the documentation and have tried

alter 'my_table', METHOD => 'table_att_unset',NAME => 'CONFIGURATION'

But I get that CONFIGURATION cannot be found. From the hbase-shell documentation, I tried

alter 'my_table', METHOD => 'table_conf_unset',NAME => 'CONFIGURATION'

But got that table_conf_unset could not be found. Is this something I can even do? I am not sure what other methods are possible.

I am running hbase version 1.1.2.2.6.0.3-8.

Hi @Nick Predey!
I'm not very used to Hbase, but could you share the error that you're getting from hbase-shell?

[#3]

I get the error: `Could not find attribute: kafka.notification.broker`. It seems that the setting `CONFIGURATION` cannot be found for some reason.

[#4]

you can unset each configuration separately like this:-

alter 'my_table', METHOD => 'table_conf_unset', NAME => 'kafka.notification.broker'

alter 'my_table', METHOD => 'table_conf_unset', NAME => 'kafka.notification.health.topic'

alter 'my_table', METHOD => 'table_conf_unset', NAME => 'kafka.some.topic'

[#5]

When I do this, I get `Could not find attribute: kafka.notification.broker`.

[#6]

can you try 'table_conf_unset' instead of 'table_att_unset', I just updated my answer.

[#7]

With that I get `Unknown method: table_conf_unset`. I am not sure if that is because of my version or not.
