[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1256) Add table trash can

["John Vines (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1256?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13627840#comment-13627840 ] 

John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1256:
--------------------------------------

I think all properties and permissions should be maintained. Fundamentally, I think this boils down to simply having a special trash state for a table before it goes through the real delete. One option for naming conflicts is including a timestamp in the name of the table for when it was deleted as a way to identify which one to users.

And perhaps all trash tables should be listed somewhere in the monitor, in a different table. I don't think it should be in the same table as Online and Offline tables.

> It may be useful to provide an optional trash feature.  If this feature were enabled, then when a table is deleted it would go into the trash can.  Tables that had been in the trash for a while could would eventually be deleted.  Tables could be undeleted from the trash can.
> What would the API and shell commands look like?  How would multiple tables in the trash can with the same name be handled in the API?  Would/should per table properties and pertable permissions be preserved?  Should these tables in the trash can show up in the monitor in some way?
