Now the HTableDescriptor supports setValue(String key, String value) method, but the hbase shell not support it.

May be like this:

{quota}
hbase(main):003:0> alter 'test', METHOD=>'table_att', 'key1'=>'value1'
Updating all regions with the new schema...
1/1 regions updated.
Done.
0 row(s) in 1.0820 seconds
