Delete multiple tables in Accumulo?

My development instance of Accumulo became quite messy with a lot of tables created for testing.

I would like to bulk delete a large number of tables.

Is there a way to do it other than deleting the entire instance?

BTW - If it's of any relevance, this instance is just a single machine "cluster".

Solution

  • In the Accumulo shell, you can specify a regular expression for table names to delete by using the -p option of the deletetable command.
