HBase Index Configuration ========================= GeoMesa exposes a variety of configuration options that can be used to customize and optimize a given installation. This section contains HBase-specific options; general options can be found under :ref:`index_config`. Setting File Compression ------------------------ You can enable HBase file compression when creating a new ``SimpleFeatureType`` by setting the appropriate user data hints, or through the command line option. Valid compression types are ``snappy``, ``lzo``, ``gz``, ``bzip2``, ``lz4`` or ``zstd``. .. code-block:: java SimpleFeatureType sft = ....; sft.getUserData().put("geomesa.table.compression.enabled", "true"); sft.getUserData().put("geomesa.table.compression.type", "snappy"); .. code-block:: shell geomesa-hbase create-schema --compression snappy ...
