stack commented on HBASE-4991: ------------------------------ bq. For successive regions R1, R2 and R3, if we delete R2, we can change the end key of R1 to be the original end key of R2 and drop region R2 directly. Changing the end key of R1 to be the end key of R2 will require creating a new region R1'; we'll have to close R1 and R2 and delete both (after moving the R1 data to R1'). > Provide capability to delete named region > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4991 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4991 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ted Yu > > See discussion titled 'Able to control routing to Solr shards or not' on > lily-discuss > User may want to quickly dispose of out of date records by deleting specific > regions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
