Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6942: -------------------------------------- Yeah, passing the delete option as scan attribute is a bit weird. But I can see this both ways. It would be nice if all of this could be strictly controlled by the scan we pass in. The scan would (through the attribute) indicate the delete type to use and also describe the KVs that are to be deleted. Also not sure about the template Delete... We'd have to make up fake column qualifiers and qualifiers in the future... Since this is an advanced feature we could pass the delete type (from KeyValue), or maybe a new enum to indicate what we want to do. So I can see this going both ways. In either case this should probably return the number of KVs deleted. > Endpoint implementation for bulk delete rows > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6942 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6942 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Coprocessors, Performance > Reporter: Anoop Sam John > Assignee: Anoop Sam John > Fix For: 0.94.3, 0.96.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-6942.patch, HBASE-6942_V2.patch, > HBASE-6942_V3.patch, HBASE-6942_V4.patch > > > We can provide an end point implementation for doing a bulk deletion of > rows(based on a scan) at the server side.
