Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-8572:
--------------------------------------
Thanks Matteo for looking into this.

so if someone had a script that was calling delete_snapshot after this patch
the script will no longer work because it requires an "y" even if the full name
is specified (no regex just the name)?

Yes, after looking at the comment here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8461?focusedCommentId=13661073&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13661073
which seems legit. So I developed in that way.
bq. drop table has two version "drop tablename" and "drop_all regex" maybe we
should follow the same pattern
I thought for it, but description said to enhance delete_snapshot. So I went
ahead with that.
I will write a new script called delete_all_snapshot. Is this ok ?

> This JIRA would allow delete_snapshot.rb to utilize this functionality.
