Hi,

Is it fine to use same column name for 2 different column families?

For example,

In a table "emp",

can we have column name "dob" under column family "F1" & "F2"?

Please let me know the impact of having like this if any...

Note : I don't want to use dob1 or some other field name for the second
column... use case is like that...

regards,
Rams

Ya sure you can have that... as you always specify columnfamily to read out
of hbase, i dont think there should be a problem in that.

As note of caution just don have two empty qualifiers in the same CF but u
can still have empty qualifiers in diff CFs.
