Description
On https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_using_rest_endpoints
The documentation states that to update a table schema (the configuration for a column family), the PUT HTTP verb will update the current configuration with the "fragment" of configuration provided, while the POST HTTP verb will replace the current configuration with whatever is provided.
In reality, the opposite is true: POST updates the configuration, PUT replaces. The old javadoc for the o.a.h.h.rest package got it right, but the entry on the HBase book transposed this.
