> this fix aims for bug mentioned in http://hbase.apache.org/book.html 5.8.2.1:
> "Deletes mask puts, even puts that happened after the delete was entered.
> Remember that a delete writes a tombstone, which only disappears after then
> next major compaction has run. Suppose you do a delete of everything <= T.
> After this you do a new put with a timestamp <= T. This put, even if it
> happened after the delete, will be masked by the delete tombstone. Performing
> the put will not fail, but when you do a get you will notice the put did have
> no effect. It will start working again after the major compaction has run.
> These issues should not be a problem if you use always-increasing versions
> for new puts to a row. But they can occur even if you do not care about time:
> just do delete and put immediately after each other, and there is some chance
> they happen within the same millisecond."
