> For administrative and debugging purposes, it would be nice to be able to
> delete rows from .META. via the shell. The alternative is writing custom java
> code to do such operations, which is just ridiculous. The reality of HBase's
> maturity is that from time to time we're going to have to reach into the
> .META. and -ROOT- tables to fix things, so I think the shell should be where
> that happens.
> Currently, attempting to delete from either table gives a "non-existant
> table" error.
