             Summary:  Import tool is not restoring multiple DeleteFamily 
markers of a row
                 Key: HBASE-12065
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12065
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 0.98.2
            Reporter: Maddineni Sukumar
            Assignee: Maddineni Sukumar
            Priority: Minor


When a row has more than one DeleteFamily markers, Import tool is not restoring 
all DeleteFamily markers. 

Scenario: Insert entries into hbase in below order

Put Row1 with Value-A
Delete Row1 with DeleteFamily Marker
Put Row1 with Value-B
Delete Row1 with DeleteFamily Marker

Using Export tool export this data and Import it into another table, you will 
see below entries

Delete Row1 with DeleteFamily Marker
Put Row1 with Value-B
Put Row1 with Value-A

One DeleteFamily marker is missing here... In Import tool, 
Importer.writeResult() method we are batching all deletes into a single Delete 
request and pushing into hbase. Here we are pushing only one delete family 
marker into hbase table.

I tried same with normal HTable.delete command also. 
If you pass multiple DeleteFamily markers of a row in a single Delete request 
to hbase then table is maintaining only one. 

If that is the expected  behavior of hbase then we should change logic in 
Import tool to push DeleteFamily markers individually one by one.
