Lars Hofhansl resolved HBASE-3887. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate Thanks for the script Ophir. I'm marking this as DUP of HBASE-5504. I linked back to this issue from there. > Add region deletion tool > ------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-3887 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3887 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Ophir Cohen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: online_delete.rb > > > A region deletion tool can be very useful to remove large amount of data. > For example, it can be used to remove all data older than specific date > (assuming your data sorted by dates) etc... > This tool should be something as follows: > Input: region key or (even better!) start & end key. > 1. Split region to isolate the keys. > 2. Disable the relevant regions. > 3. Delete files from the file system. > 4. Update .META. table. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
