[hbase] Shell should allow deletions in .META. and -ROOT- tables
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2744
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2744
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Assignee: Edward Yoon
Priority: Minor
For administrative and debugging purposes, it would be nice to be able to
delete rows from .META. via the shell. The alternative is writing custom java
code to do such operations, which is just ridiculous. The reality of HBase's
maturity is that from time to time we're going to have to reach into the .META.
and -ROOT- tables to fix things, so I think the shell should be where that
happens.
Currently, attempting to delete from either table gives a "non-existant table"
error.
