Lars George commented on HBASE-2005:
------------------------------------
Hi Doug,
There is
{code}
truncate Disables, drops and recreates the specified table.
{code}
which is not as elaborate as yours, so we could keep this issue here to extend
the truncate functionality. But there is at least something.
> 'Shell' suggestion - equivalent of 'truncate' for a table
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-2005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2005
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Doug Meil
> Priority: Minor
>
> The hbase shell has 'delete' and 'deleteall' for deleting a cell/cells for a
> given row.
> I don't see any equivalent of the RDBMS equivalent of 'truncate' that would
> delete all the rows in a table, however (i.e., based on my understanding of
> the shell, 'deleteall' applies horizontally, but not vertically).
> At the very least, this could be useful for development purposes when you
> want to quickly remove test data from a table.
> Nice to have - something like:
> truncate mytable (no column families specified... so it removes all the
> rows from every column family)
> truncate mytable family1 (remove all rows from table 'mytable' but only
> for column family 'family1').
> Something like that... just a suggestion.
