stack commented on HBASE-4227:
------------------------------

I'd say don't worry about it Nileema.  What I think I really want is that when I do a scan on .META., I only see non-default values too.  The shell recognizes when Scan is of a .META. and when we are on the info:regioninfo, it decodes the bytes as an HRegionInfo and dumps it all out default values and all.  This can be a bunch of repitition.  I just need to change it so I filter out the default values somehow.  Thanks for offering though to make the change (I like this change in the UI).

> With the introduction of online schema changes, it will become more advantageous to put configuration knobs at the column family level vs global configuration settings.  This will create a nasty web UI experience for showing table properties unless we default to showing the custom values instead of all values.  It's on the table if we want to modify the shell's 'describe' method as well.  scan '.META.' should definitely return the full properties however.
