Lars Hofhansl resolved HBASE-878. --------------------------------- Resolution: Implemented We have delete markers that target a specific (including the latest) version of the any cell, making the next older one visible. Closing this after six years! > cell purge feature > ------------------ > > Key: HBASE-878 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-878 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.2.0 > Reporter: Michael Bieniosek > > Sometimes cells get inserted by accident, and we want to delete them so that > the cells behind them become visible. "delete" just inserts a deleted cell > at a newer timestamp, which makes the entire column disappear; but in some > cases it's preferable to make the next newest value the current value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
