ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-11088:
------------------------------------------------
The reason for adding new commands is that previously deletes were not
supporting all flavours in the shell
{code}
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Delete a cell
def _delete_internal(row, column, timestamp =
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants::LATEST_TIMESTAMP)
_deleteall_internal(row, column, timestamp)
end
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Delete a row
def _deleteall_internal(row, column = nil, timestamp =
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants::LATEST_TIMESTAMP)
raise ArgumentError, "Row Not Found" if _get_internal(row).nil?
d = org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Delete.new(row.to_s.to_java_bytes,
timestamp)
if column
family, qualifier = parse_column_name(column)
d.deleteColumns(family, qualifier, timestamp)
end
@table.delete(d)
end
{code}
So it was always calling deleteColumns. Hence I thought extending this would
support all types of deletes. And mainly very helpful in testing these delete
changes with vis tags.
