What is the difference between the disable and disable-all keyword in HBase

Question

Hey,

Can anyone explain what is the difference in disable and disable-all keyword in Hbase?

Answer 1

Hey,

disable:- This command will start disabling the named table. If the table needs to be deleted or dropped, it has to disable first

Syntax:-

hbase(main):011:0>disable 'education'

disable_all:- This command will disable all the tables matching the given regex. The implementation is same as delete command (Except adding regex for matching). Once the table gets disable the user can able to delete the table from HBase. Before delete or dropping the table, it should be disabled first.

Syntax:-

disable_all<"matching regex"
