According to the description on phoenix website:

Following create table DDL will create two column faimiles A and B.

CREATE TABLE TEST (MYKEY VARCHAR NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, A.COL1 VARCHAR,
 A.COL2 VARCHAR, B.COL3 VARCHAR)

But I need to create a column family without defining any column, so all columns belong to the column family will be dynamic. Except for creating a dummy column for the column family, is there any way to do it?

This is currently not supported.

http://phoenix.apache.org/language/index.html#column_def

A column definition includes a column reference.

http://phoenix.apache.org/language/index.html#column_ref

And we can see that the column family is optional while the column name is not.
