Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-4991:
--------------------------------------
Maybe we should separate this feature from a generic framework?
For this issue we could just have one API: deleteRange(table, startKey,
endKey). Initially it could validate that the start and endKey coincide with
exactly one region, that way we can extend this later, without having regions
exposed in the API.
(still need to avoid races with splitting and balancing of course - makes it
almost nicer to go back to the original approach of passing a region name).
Just my $0.02.
