stack commented on HBASE-4991:
------------------------------
bq. Shell command needs to be changed as delete_region <table_name> <start_key>
<end_key>
delete_region would go well w/ our current close_region. Do you need
tablename, startkey, endkey? Can't you just pass region name?
ditto for the deleteRegion call (though maybe I'm missing the fact that you are
trying to respect Todd's comments above that we not have region come up out of
the API -- ignore this remark if so).
bq. If start/end key for the specified table is spanned across multiple regions
then it is out of scope of this JIRA (throw error).
So, you can only do one region at a time? Why would it be hard doing multiple
given you are tracking? Or is it that it makes the tracking yet more
complicated?
