As I understand it, the goal is to be able to delete a specific column family and qualifier on every row in the entire table. It's important to note that the qualifier is needed, because you can already do this essentially with ALTER TABLE if you want to delete an entire column family. Is this correct? If so, I'm not sure that we should offer this functionality. It will be slow, especially if it's run as a single delete at a time in serial from the shell. I would think that from the shell, you have the ability to empty an entire table with TRUNCATE, or delete an entire column family with ALTER TABLE ... DROP columnfamily, and that's probably enough. If you actually do need to delete just a given qualified column name on every row in your table, you should write a mapreduce job or some other highly parallel way to do that. This is in keeping with the goal of making the shell both efficient and lean when it comes to the functionality it supports.

I'm not bothering to make a example. Also, I thought it should be work as inter-row wise partitioned sub structre parallelism. But, now shell is 0.0.1 version. Imagine the processing-speed:increment by row-count:increment 2d plots of scanner and mapreduce, start points of processing-speed dimension and slopes will be different. So, I thought the cross point find algorithm for the most faster automatical processing. 'Slow Performance' can't touch the grammar rules.
