Description

HBase's master has an info server that's useful for debugging and getting a general overview of what's in the cluster. It has a page dedicated to describing a cluster. You can reach it by going to something like: http://localhost:54677/table.jsp?name=cluster_test

That page currently doesn't have anything about the current table schema. It would be nice to have a table that lists the different column families and how they are set up.
