[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1550) [hbase] No means of deleting a'row' nor all members of a column family

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1550?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12511892 ] 

Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-1550:
---------------------------------------

If you delete all the values in a row, the row will become invisible until the region is compacted, at which point it will be removed.

However, the real issues here are:

- How do you (easily) delete a whole row?

- How do you (easily) delete all the members of a column family?

> There is no support in hbase currently for deleting a row -- i.e. remove all columns and their versions keyed by a particular row id.  Nor is there a means of passing in a row id and column family name having hbase delete all members of the column family (for the designated row).
