-------------------------------------
Assignee: Vaibhav Joshi
> Implement truncate_region command to truncate region directly from FS
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-28064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28064
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Ankit Singhal
> Assignee: Vaibhav Joshi
> Priority: Major
>
> One of our users has brought up a use-case where they need to truncate a
> region to delete data within a specific range. There are two scenarios to
> consider:
> * In the first scenario, the region boundaries involve a time range defined
> through pre-splitting, and user is looking to efficiently clean old date
> data. If HBase can directly truncate the region from the file system and then
> the user can merge the empty region with adjacent regions to effectively
> eliminate it which will be more optimized compared to deleting the data using
> Delete API.
> * In another case, if the HFile for that region becomes corrupted for some
> reason, user want to get rid of the HFile and reload the entire region to
> avoid consistency issues and ensure performance.
> we can do this by taking the region offline and taking write lock to avoid
> the consideration of race conditions involving Region In Transition (RITs),
> region re-opening, and merge/split scenarios.
