HBase: Specify VERSIONS while creating table using Java API

Question

I know we can do it from hbase shell in the following way: ``` create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5} ``` I could not find any corresponding option in `HTableDesctiptor` in the Java API. Any idea how to do this?

Accepted Answer

Max versions, and other ttl type settings, is specified per column family. So the max versions is on the HColumnDescriptor.
