ChunHao commented on HBASE-18142: --------------------------------- Hi, Chia-Ping Tsaiļ¼ I want to try to solve this issue. Could you assign this issue to me? thanks. > Deletion of a cell deletes the previous versions too > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-18142 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18142 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API > Reporter: Karthick > Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai > Labels: beginner > > When I tried to delete a cell using it's timestamp in the Hbase Shell, the > previous versions of the same cell also got deleted. But when I tried the > same using the Java API, then the previous versions are not deleted and I can > retrive the previous values. > https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-client/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/Delete.java > see this file to fix the issue. This method (public Delete addColumns(final > byte [] family, final byte [] qualifier, final long timestamp)) only deletes > the current version of the cell. The previous versions are not deleted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
