Query all dynamic Phoenix columns

[#1]

I have created an hbase table using Phoenix with 3 columns. Then after creating the schema structure and populating with data, I wanted to add one new row with new dynamic columns. After doing so, I want to do a SELECT statement and get all columns including dynamic ones. However this is not working when doing "SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE;" -- any ideas how to do this?

Here is my code:

Table Structure:

CREATE TABLE example (
    my_pk bigint not null,
    m.first_name varchar(50),
    m.last_name varchar(50) 
    CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY (my_pk))

Table Data:

12345,John,Doe
67890,Mary,Poppins

Inserted dynamic data like so:

UPSERT INTO EXAMPLE (MY_PK, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, lastGCTime TIME, usedMemory BIGINT, maxMemory BIGINT) 
VALUES(1, 'this', 'test', CURRENT_TIME(), 512, 1024)

Use the ALTER command to add more columns to your table's schema.

So i guess you have to modify the schema in order for it to pick up the new columns -- it doesnt update schema automatically on the fly

Correct. That's why I instructed you to use the ALTER command :)

For getting the dynamic columns in your result-set, you need to specify those columns and their schema while querying as well. This feature is available since Phoenix 1.2.

SELECT MY_PK, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, lastGCTime TIME, usedMemory BIGINT, maxMemory BIGINT FROM EXAMPLE(lastGCTime TIME, usedMemory BIGINT, maxMemory BIGINT);
