HBaseAdmin (Apache HBase - Client 2.0.0-alpha2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, Abortable, Admin
```
@InterfaceAudience.Private
 @InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class HBaseAdmin
extends Object
implements Admin
```
HBaseAdmin is no longer a client API. It is marked InterfaceAudience.Private indicating that this is an HBase-internal class as defined in https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/InterfaceClassification.html There are no guarantees for backwards source / binary compatibility and methods or class can change or go away without deprecation. Use Connection.getAdmin() to obtain an instance of Admin instead of constructing an HBaseAdmin directly.
Connection should be an unmanaged connection obtained via ConnectionFactory.createConnection(Configuration)

    Parameters:
    
    encodedRegionName - The encoded region name; i.e. the hash that makes up the region name suffix: e.g. if regionname is TestTable,0094429456,1289497600452.527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396., then the encoded region name is: 527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396.
    
    destServerName - The servername of the destination regionserver. If passed the empty byte array we'll assign to a random server. A server name is made of host, port and startcode. Here is an example: host187.example.com,60020,1289493121758

```
    Description copied from interface: Admin
    
    Unassign a region from current hosting regionserver. Region will then be assigned to a regionserver chosen at random. Region could be reassigned back to the same server. Use Admin.move(byte[], byte[]) if you want to control the region movement.
    
    Specified by:
    
    unassign in interface Admin
    
    Parameters:
    
    regionName - Region to unassign. Will clear any existing RegionPlan if one found.
    
    force - If true, force unassign (Will remove region from regions-in-transition too if present. If results in double assignment use hbck -fix to resolve. To be used by experts).
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - offline
```
public void offline(byte[] regionName)
             throws IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: Admin
    
    Offline specified region from master's in-memory state. It will not attempt to reassign the region as in unassign. This API can be used when a region not served by any region server and still online as per Master's in memory state. If this API is incorrectly used on active region then master will loose track of that region. This is a special method that should be used by experts or hbck.
    
    Specified by:
    
    offline in interface Admin
    
    Parameters:
    
    regionName - Region to offline.

    Deprecated. use rollWALWriter(ServerName)
    
    Roll the log writer. I.e. when using a file system based write ahead log, start writing log messages to a new file. Note that when talking to a version 1.0+ HBase deployment, the rolling is asynchronous. This method will return as soon as the roll is requested and the return value will always be null. Additionally, the named region server may schedule store flushes at the request of the wal handling the roll request. When talking to a 0.98 or older HBase deployment, the rolling is synchronous and the return value may be either null or a list of encoded region names.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serverName - The servername of the regionserver. A server name is made of host, port and startcode. This is mandatory. Here is an example: host187.example.com,60020,1289493121758
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of HRegionInfo.getEncodedName() that would allow the wal to clean up some underlying files. null if there's nothing to flush.

    Roll the log writer. I.e. for filesystem based write ahead logs, start writing to a new file.

    Description copied from interface: Admin
    
    Take a snapshot and wait for the server to complete that snapshot (blocking). Only a single snapshot should be taken at a time for an instance of HBase, or results may be undefined (you can tell multiple HBase clusters to snapshot at the same time, but only one at a time for a single cluster). Snapshots are considered unique based on the name of the snapshot. Attempts to take a snapshot with the same name (even a different type or with different parameters) will fail with a SnapshotCreationException indicating the duplicate naming. Snapshot names follow the same naming constraints as tables in HBase. See TableName.isLegalFullyQualifiedTableName(byte[]). You should probably use Admin.snapshot(String, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName) or Admin.snapshot(byte[], org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName) unless you are sure about the type of snapshot that you want to take.
    
    Specified by:
