Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4991:
------------------------------------
bq. Hmm, maybe I am a bit slow: in both cases the data of the named region
wouldn't exist any more on the original region server.
But region servers are also not part of the *data model*.
There's the implementation (region servers, regions, etc) and the data model
(rows, columns, etc). {{move}} is an administrative/operational thing (like
turning on/off load balancer or gathering metrics). {{delete...} is a data
model thing (it affects what's stored). Having APIs that mix the two is messy.
