> Compaction clears all cells behind any found 'delete' cell. This makes for
> an inconsistency in that before the compaction runs, you can do a get or scan
> on a timestamp older than the delete cell and get results. Confusing.
> Either preserve all cells for all time (or until > MAX_VERSIONS or TTL) or
> else make it so presence of a delete cell in the future stops client fetching
> anything older (expensive).
