Liu Shaohui commented on HBASE-12462:
-------------------------------------
[~lhofhansl]
The patch just changed the meaning of cmd `delete 't1', 'r1', 'f1'` to delete
family from delete a column with null qualifier.
If users really want to delete a column with null qualifier, they can use
`delete 't1', 'r1', 'f1:'`
> Support deleting all columns of the specified family of a row in hbase shell

> Currently, HBase shell only support deleting a column of a row in a table. In
> some scenarios, we want to delete all the columns under a a column family of
> a row, but there may be many columns there. It's difficult to delete the
> columns one by one in shell.
> It's easy to add this feature in shell since the Delete have the API of
> deleting a family.
