Mubarak Seyed commented on HBASE-4991: -------------------------------------- If we specify only start and end key, what happens if multiple regions (belongs to mutiple tables) holds the same start/end key? For example: I have 3 tables => table1, table2, table3 If i pre-split them using first two characters like [0-9][a-z]=> we get 36 x 36 = 1296 regions => 1296 x 3 = 3888 total regions (across all RSs), so key would look like a0.... to az..... .. z0... to zz... .. 01... to 0z... so we end up table1,region1,start_key1,end_key1 table2,region1,start_key1,end_key1 table3,region1,start_key1,end_key1 start_key1 and end_key1 needs to be resolved at input level unless fully qualified path of _table1,region1,start_key1_ and _table1,region1,end_key1_ is specified. > 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 > Assignee: Mubarak Seyed > Fix For: 0.94.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-4991.trunk.v1.patch, HBASE-4991.trunk.v2.patch > > > 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 User may want to quickly dispose of out of date records by deleting specific 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.
