samar kumar, If all the rows of an region are deleted what happens to the region. Would it still exist .? Yes it will exist . Whenever you create a family HBase will create a separate Space for that Column Family . If there data available for then that data will be written to HFile which is create for that column family space. If you need to remove column family completely you have a write the separate code to handle this
Also what is the cost of having a empty region?
