@InterfaceAudience.Public
public class Delete
extends Mutation

Used to perform Delete operations on a single row.

To delete an entire row, instantiate a Delete object with the row to delete. To further define the scope of what to delete, perform additional methods as outlined below.

To delete specific families, execute deleteFamily for each family to delete.

To delete multiple versions of specific columns, execute deleteColumns for each column to delete.

To delete specific versions of specific columns, execute deleteColumn for each column version to delete.

Specifying timestamps, deleteFamily and deleteColumns will delete all versions with a timestamp less than or equal to that passed. If no timestamp is specified, an entry is added with a timestamp of 'now' where 'now' is the servers's EnvironmentEdgeManager.currentTime(). Specifying a timestamp to the deleteColumn method will delete versions only with a timestamp equal to that specified. If no timestamp is passed to deleteColumn, internally, it figures the most recent cell's timestamp and adds a delete at that timestamp; i.e. it deletes the most recently added cell.

The timestamp passed to the constructor is used ONLY for delete of rows. For anything less -- a deleteColumn, deleteColumns or deleteFamily -- then you need to use the method overrides that take a timestamp. The constructor timestamp is not referenced.

Constructor Detail

Delete

public Delete(byte[] row)

Create a Delete operation for the specified row.

If no further operations are done, this will delete everything associated with the specified row (all versions of all columns in all families), with timestamp from current point in time to the past. Cells defining timestamp for a future point in time (timestamp > current time) will not be deleted.

Parameters:

row - row key

Delete

public Delete(byte[] row,
              long timestamp)

Create a Delete operation for the specified row and timestamp.

If no further operations are done, this will delete all columns in all families of the specified row with a timestamp less than or equal to the specified timestamp.

This timestamp is ONLY used for a delete row operation. If specifying families or columns, you must specify each timestamp individually.

Parameters:

row - row key

timestamp - maximum version timestamp (only for delete row)

Delete

public Delete(byte[] row,
              int rowOffset,
              int rowLength)

Create a Delete operation for the specified row and timestamp.

If no further operations are done, this will delete all columns in all families of the specified row with a timestamp less than or equal to the specified timestamp.

This timestamp is ONLY used for a delete row operation. If specifying families or columns, you must specify each timestamp individually.

Parameters:

row - We make a local copy of this passed in row. nn

Delete

public Delete(byte[] row,
              int rowOffset,
              int rowLength,
              long timestamp)

Create a Delete operation for the specified row and timestamp.

If no further operations are done, this will delete all columns in all families of the specified row with a timestamp less than or equal to the specified timestamp.

This timestamp is ONLY used for a delete row operation. If specifying families or columns, you must specify each timestamp individually.

Delete

public Delete(Delete deleteToCopy)

Create a Delete operation using another Delete as template.

Parameters:

deleteToCopy - delete to copy

Delete

public Delete(byte[] row,
              long ts,
              NavigableMap<byte[],List<Cell>> familyMap)

Construct the Delete with user defined data. NOTED: 1) all cells in the familyMap must have the delete type. see Cell.Type 2) the row of each cell must be same with passed row.

Parameters:

row - row. CAN'T be null

ts - timestamp

familyMap - the map to collect all cells internally. CAN'T be null
