Adding HappyBase Connection.create_table().

[dhermes]

@tseaver sorry #1501 got closed. I did a git push -f after rebase-ing and it just pushed the HEAD of master (which GitHub interpreted as a delete).

[tseaver]

Do all the possible options (dict keys) control only garbage collection?

[dhermes]

The only fields for a table (other than a name) are the GC rules. So the keys of families the dictionary (the one that gets passed to create_table) are the names of the column families (as strings) and then the values specify the configuration for each table.

You're right in wondering though. I'd imagine if at some point the Thrift/HBase table settings

max_versions
compression
in_memory
bloom_filter_type
bloom_filter_vector_size
bloom_filter_nb_hashes
block_cache_enabled
time_to_live

then we'd have a re-design on our hands.

How big of a n00b am I! I closed this by accident (from the command line) the exact same way I closed #1501.

@tseaver Does my explanation make sense?

[dhermes]

@jonparrott I changed the exception to a warning in _parse_family_option. Still waiting on the atomicity / rollback question.

LGTM, barring the question about atomicity.

(don't forget to squash)

[dhermes]

OK. Will squash and merge and file an issue to follow up.

[theacodes]

SGTM.
