Clear HBase Table Data: Methods Explained

There are two ways to clear data from an HBase table:

1. Delete table data using Java API or HBase shell command:
   You can delete data from a table using the delete method in Java API. In HBase shell, you can use the deleteall command to remove all data from a table.
2. In the HBase shell, you can use the truncate command to clear the table data. This command removes all data from the table while keeping its structure and configuration intact. Truncate is faster and less impactful on the table’s performance than the deleteall command.
