Removing a Table Using the CLI or REST API

Run the command maprcli table delete -path <path> .

  • For a path on the local cluster, start the path at the volume mount point. For example, for a table named test under a volume with a mount point at /volume1, specify the following path: /volume1/test
  • For a path on a remote cluster, you must also specify the cluster name in the path. For example, for a table named customer under volume1 in the sanfrancisco cluster, specify the following path:/mapr/sanfrancisco/volume1/customer
    Note: You cannot use the following characters in the table name: 
     < > ? % \
    To use the following characters in the table name, enclose them either in single or double quotes: 
    ; | ( ) /
    For example: 
    maprcli table create -path "/設備^=#;{}&()/"  (or)
maprcli table create -path '/設備^=#;{}&()/'
    To use either the ' or the " character in the table name, enclose:
    • the ' character within double quotes (")
    • the " character within single quote (')
    For example:
    maprcli table create -path "/'設備^=#;{}&()/"  (or)
maprcli table create -path '/"設備^=#;{}&()/'
