Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

Query table details

  1. On the Overview page, filter tables by group, namespace, or table name, then click Query.

  2. Optional: Click the Filter icon in the upper-right corner of the Current Table section to choose which columns to display.

  3. Click the name of a table to view its details.

  4. Optional: In the Current Table section, edit or delete a column family.

    • Edit a column family: Click Edit in the Actions column for the column family. In the Edit Column Family dialog box, update the maximum version, TTL, or data encryption type, then click OK.

    • Delete a column family: Click Delete in the Actions column for the column family. In the Delete Column Family dialog box, click OK.

    Warning

    Deleted column families cannot be restored. Back up your data before deleting a column family.

Move a table to a group

Warning

Do not move a table to a group that has no RegionServers. Tables moved to such groups become inaccessible.

  1. On the Overview page, click Move To Group in the Actions column for the target table.

  2. In the Create Form dialog box, select the destination group from the Destination Group drop-down list.

  3. Click OK.

Manage traffic throttling rules

  1. On the Overview page, choose More > Throttle Traffic in the Actions column for the target table.

    Important

    If the options in the Actions column differ from what is shown in the preceding figure, submit a ticket.

  2. In the Table Throttling Management dialog box, select an operation type and enter a traffic threshold.

    Operation typeDescription
    READThrottles read operations
    WRITEThrottles write operations
    MIXThrottles both read and write operations
    DDLThrottles DDL operations on the table

    The traffic threshold must be an integer. Unit: Capacity Unit (CU).

    Note

    CUs measure read and write throughput. The CUs of an operation indicate the capacity units consumed by the operation.

    After you create the rule, it appears in the Current Throttling Rule section of the dialog box. The quota parameter shows the active thresholds — for example, a read quota of 20,000 CUs and a write quota of 10,000 CUs.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Optional: To delete the current throttling rule, click Delete in the Table Throttling Management dialog box.

Delete a table

Warning

Deleted tables cannot be restored. Back up your data before proceeding.

  1. On the Overview page, choose More > Delete in the Actions column for the target table.

    Important

    If the options in the Actions column differ from what is shown in the preceding figure, submit a ticket.

  2. In the Delete Table dialog box, click OK.
