Hi all, Since HBase has bulk import, could hbase delete a whole region ? Currently I have to do a scan operation then get the row id and invoke delete operation for each row id, this inefficiency. And internally, one region is just some hdfs files, so invoke some hdfs file deletion is more efficiency.
My initial idea is that before deletion of region, the region should first be frozen (flush MemStore to disk, and inhibit any put operation into this region). Then invoke a delete operation on the region, only some hdfs file operation is needed. Not sure whether this is possible and on the roadmap of hbase ? -- Best Regards Jeff Zhang
