Rahul Kesharwani updated HBASE-23306:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
h3. Description:

After taking a brief observation, It seems to be the following operation 
behaves in the opposite manner of what they should be doing in case `null 
argument.

*For example:* `Admin#listTables(Pattern)` If its argument is `null` then all 
the tables would be returned. Also this very method is being used by rest of 
the listed operation like `deleteTables()`, `enableTables()`, `disableTables()` 
etc.
h3. Affected operation:
 * Admin.listTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.listTableNames(Pattern)
 * Admin.deleteTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.enableTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.disableTables(Pattern)

This could be a very rare scenario but I think it should either throw an 
exception or behave opposite of what current behavior is.

*If this was not intentional* then I can quickly put together a patch with 
precondition check for these operations.

 

Note: I tried to look for answers but I was not able to find any relevant 
issue/comments hence logging this issue. Feel free to close if this is 
intentional behavior.
