Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-8461:
----------------------------------------
I'll prefer a new method deleteSnapshot(Pattern nameRegex) using a
listSnapshot(Pattern)
just too avoid to use the current string argument as regex and put name
restrictions API side.
(it seems that we already have a listTables(Pattern pattern).. so you may just
follow what we already have
I assume this will be just a client side change like this
{code}
deleteSnapshot(regex) {
for (SnapshotDescription snapshot: listSnapshots(regex)) {
getMaster().deleteSnapshot(snapshot);
}
}
{code}
> Provide the ability to delete multiple snapshots through single command

> Currently HBaseAdmin#deleteSnapshot() accepts name of single snapshot.
