It seems troublesome... *hql > DELETE columnA: FROM table;* In this case, only "columnA:" should be deleted. {code} columnA: ----> to be deleted columnA:a columnA:b {code} .... And then, how can i delete all columns in columnfamily? I'd like to use the deleteColumn() method to drop the *ColumnFamily* {code} DROP TABLE table_name; DROP COLUMNFAMILY columnfamily_name; {code} > [Hbase Shell] Delete command with no WHERE clause > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2339 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2339 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Edward Yoon > Assignee: Edward Yoon > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: 2339.patch > > > using HbaseAdmin.deleteColumn() method. > {code} > DELETE column_name FROM table_name; > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
