Cosmin Lehene commented on HBASE-5761:
--------------------------------------
[~uws], [[email protected]], [~apurtell] wouldn't it make more sense to
change the documentation for TDelete?
> [Thrift2] TDelete.deleteType defaults to TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMNS, but the
> docs suggest otherwise

> Key: HBASE-5761
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5761
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Wouter Bolsterlee
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: beginner
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> It seems to me there is an inconsistency (or error) in the Thrift2
> {{TDelete}} struct and its documentation. The docs for the {{TDelete}} struct
> state:
> {quote}
> If no timestamp is specified the most recent version will be deleted. To
> delete all previous versions, specify the DELETE_COLUMNS TDeleteType.
> {quote}
> ...which implies that the default is {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMN}}
> (singular), not {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMNS}} (plural).
> However, the {{deleteType}} field in the {{TDelete}} struct defaults to the
> value {{1}}, which is {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMNS}} (plural) in
> {{/src/main/resources/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/thrift2/hbase.thrift}}. The
> field is currently (r1239241) defined as follows:
> {{4: optional TDeleteType deleteType = 1,}}
> I'd suggest that the default for this optional field is changed to
> {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMN}} (singular). The line above from the {{TDelete}}
> struct would then become:
> {{4: optional TDeleteType deleteType = 0,}}
> Since this change just involves changing a {{1}} into a {{0}}, I'll leave the
> trivial patch to someone who can also commit it in one go. Thanks in advance.
