Jieshan Bean commented on HBASE-4991:
-------------------------------------
We also have this requirement: delete some specified regions, specillaly about
the data in HDFS, and merge those regions. We do it after diable the table. So
it seems very simple:
1. Ensure the table has been disabled.
2. Scan META, and find our all the regions should be deleted.
3. Delete information from .META.
4. Delete Region directory in HDFS.
5. Add a new empty region to avoid region hole in .META.
6. enable table.
