[ch huang <ju...@gmail.com>]

hi,maillist:

any difference between the following two command in hbase shell?
     *deleteall ‘t1′, ‘r1′, ‘c1′, ts1  *
*     delete ‘t1′, ‘r1′, ‘c1′, ts1*

You can also find the same information using you HBase shell:

hbase(main):006:0> help "delete"
Put a delete cell value at specified table/row/column and optionally
timestamp coordinates.  Deletes must match the deleted cell's
coordinates exactly.  When scanning, a delete cell suppresses older
versions. To delete a cell from  't1' at row 'r1' under column 'c1'
marked with the time 'ts1', do:

  hbase> delete 't1', 'r1', 'c1', ts1
hbase(main):007:0> help "deleteall"
Delete all cells in a given row; pass a table name, row, and optionally
a column and timestamp. Examples:

  hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1'
  hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1', 'c1'
  hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1', 'c1', ts1

Basically, for delete, table name, rowid and columns are mandatory. While
for deleteall, onlly table and rowid are mandatory.
