Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4991:
------------------------------------
(btw, I am OK with the API that takes a key range and requires that the key
range map to a region initially).
But the above comments about implementation stand - can this be done in such a
way that it shares code with "merge"? i.e that it's a two step process: step 1
is to clear the memstore + delete hfiles in a region (so the region still
exists and is empty), and step 2 being that we initiate a merge to kill the
now-empty one? The first step would then be RS-local, which makes it simpler,
and the second step would cover other use cases as well
> Provide capability to delete named region
