[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-23306) Add sanity check for Admin#deleteTables and other operations

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23306?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rahul Kesharwani updated HBASE-23306:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
h3. Description:

After taking a brief observation, It seems to be the following operation behaves in the opposite manner of what they should be doing in case `null argument.

*For example:* `Admin#listTables(Pattern)` If its argument is `null` then all the tables would be returned. Also this very method is being used by rest of the listed operation like `deleteTables()`, `enableTables()`, `disableTables()` etc.
h3. Affected operation:
 * Admin.listTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.listTableNames(Pattern)
 * Admin.deleteTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.enableTables(Pattern)
 * Admin.disableTables(Pattern)

This could be a very rare scenario but I think it should either throw an exception or behave opposite of what current behavior is.

*If this was not intentional* then I can quickly put together a patch with precondition check for these operations.

 

Note: I tried to look for answers but I was not able to find any relevant issue/comments hence logging this issue. Feel free to close if this is intentional behavior.
