Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-3262:
----------------------------------------
Hmm... I thought we have a column family per local index and table? L#0, L#1,
etc. But I do not quite get all the details.
A large local index essentially cannot currently be dropped (delete multiple
billion rows is not really an option).
> When dropping a local index, delete the column family instead of individual
> rows.

> Currently when Phoenix drops a local index it places a delete marker for
> every single row, instead we can just drop the L#<x> column family.
> {{HBaseAdmin.deleteColumn}} in 0.98. And {{HBaseAdmin.deleteColumnFamily}} in
> 1.0+.
