stack commented on HBASE-8378:
------------------------------
+1 if works.
This is right?
{code}
+ if (force)
+ return unless exists?(table_name)
+ disable(table_name)
+ end
+
tableExists(table_name)
{code}
Below it says tableExists but above it says exists? 'exists' is ruby exists?
> add 'force' option for drop table
