Ted Yu commented on HBASE-8461:
-------------------------------
There was existing API deleteTables() which accepts regex:
{code}
public HTableDescriptor[] deleteTables(String regex) throws IOException {
return deleteTables(Pattern.compile(regex));
}
{code}
I don't see user given a chance for confirmation w.r.t. the above API.
list.rb calls admin.list(regex) which accepts regex.
> Provide the ability to delete multiple snapshots through single command

> Currently HBaseAdmin#deleteSnapshot() accepts name of single snapshot.
> It is desirable to allow user to delete multiple snapshots by issuing one
> command.
> e.g. user may use regular expression to specify the names of snapshots to
> delete.
