stack commented on HBASE-961:
-----------------------------
Why COLFAMILY_REGEX in HBaseTestCase.java and not in TestDeleteFamily.java
where it is only place used? (I'm guessing you are trying to follow a discerned
patten?)
Is the regex correct? Seems like it does not allow for the ':' columnfamily
delimiter character? colA in your test is 'colfamily1:a' if I read it right
and a regex of "col[a-zA-Z]*1" won't match? (Whats the '1' on the end for?).
Is deleteFamilyByRegex needed? Or is it that deleteAllByRegex can't be made do
this operation?
Otherwise, patch looks great.

> Hi.
> I tried to find a way to delete multiple columns that their names match some
> regular expression, but this functionality is missing (i think).
> Is it possible to add such functionality ?
