Uhm... Not exactly Lars...
Just my $0.02 ...

While I don't disagree w Lars, I think the question you have to ask is why is 
the time stamp important?
Is it an element of the data or is it an artifact?
This kind of gets in to your Schema design and taking short cuts. You may want 
to instead create a data element or column containing the time stamp rather 
than rely on an HBase internal time stamp. 

Or you could increase the existing time stamp by 1 ns... ;-)
(Blame it on clock drift in your cluster? Of course we don't know the 
significance of the time stamp ... Or how often the row is un/re deleted... 
1000 times and you'd be off by a whole second.)

-Just saying... :-)
