Ionut Ignatescu commented on HBASE-10309:
-----------------------------------------
I am also interested to hear more details on this topic. This feature would be
extremely useful and for me. i have the same use case.
For the moment, I have a quick question: if I delete an empty region and I run
hbck -repairHoles, what will be the effect?A new empty region just as that was
deleted or one of the neighboring regions will be extended to cover the gap?
Thanks,
Ionut I.

> My use case: I have several tables where keys start with a timestamp. Because
> of this and combined with the fact that I have set a 15 days retention
> period, after a period of time results empty regions.
> I am sure that no write will occur in these region.
> It would be nice to have a tool to delete regions without being necessary to
> stop the cluster.
> The easiest way for me is to have a tool that is able to delete all empty
> regions, but there wouldn't be any problem to specify which region to delete.
> Something like:
> deleteRegion <tableName> <region>
