Drew Farris commented on ACCUMULO-1346:
---------------------------------------

So, the -b is exclusive, so we would need to find the string immediately prior 
to {{dddd}} in order to delete the row dddd. Unless I'm mistaken, that string 
would be {{dddc%ff%ff%ff.....}}, with {{%ff}}'s up to the max width of a key. 
Bummer, not so practical. 

There is possibly a way to do this in the internals. I some code to read before 
I can perpetrate that change. Removing the newbie tag. <grin>
                
> deleterows should take a -r option

> deleterows only allows an exclusive begin row and an inclusive end row. This 
> is difficult to use for deleting a single (large) row. It would be nice if a 
> user could specify -r, similar to scan.
