It surprising that none of the deletes work in 0.19. Deletes have unit tests and if deletes didn't work at all, the catalog tables would work properly. Does a simple delete of a cell work? I took a look at hbase 0.19.2 and 0.19.3 and at fixes committed since 0.19.3. They do not seem to have any fixes related to deletes.
If you can make a test that proves deletes broken, I can take a look at it. Make an issue.
