Example
Given below is the example of truncate command. Here we have truncated the emp table.
hbase(main):011:0> truncate 'emp' Truncating 'one' table (it may take a while): - Disabling table... - Truncating table... 0 row(s) in 1.5950 seconds
After truncating the table, use the scan command to verify. You will get a table with zero rows.
hbase(main):017:0> scan ‘emp’ ROW COLUMN + CELL 0 row(s) in 0.3110 seconds
