Make Delete API look like Get API --------------------------------- Key: HBASE-2609 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2609 Project: Hadoop HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: client Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher
In my work on HBASE-2400, implementing deletes for the Avro server felt quite awkward. Rather than the clean API of the Get object, which allows restrictions on the result set from a row to be expressed with addColumn, addFamily, setTimeStamp, setTimeRange, setMaxVersions, and setFilters, the Delete object hides these semantics behind various constructors to deleteColumn[s] an deleteFamily. From my naive vantage point, I see no reason why it would be a bad idea to mimic the Get API exactly, though I could quite possibly be missing something.
