Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-8572:
--------------------------------------
bq. yeah not sure what is the best behaviour. I'll let you decide.
Currently I think of three ways,
1. To change the return type of HBaseAdmin#deleteSnapshots(final Pattern
pattern) to array same as other apis working regex.
But this may cause backward incompatibility.
2. To call HBaseAdmin#listSnapshots(String regex) again from the
delete_all_snapshot script just after HBaseAdmin#deleteSnapshots(String regex)
call and output the count of succeeded snapshots if any (+) list and count of
failed snapshots if any.
3. To add a new API in Admin like listOwnerSnapshots which returns snapshots
owned by only this user and call this api from delete_all_snapshot script.
Which one you suggest or do you have any other suggestions ?

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