Thanks yonghu.
That is HBASE-4241. One small point: The deleted rows are not deleted from the memstore, but rather not included when the memstore is flushed to disk. -- Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: yonghu <yongyong...@gmail.com> To: user@hbase.apache.org; lars hofhansl <lhofha...@yahoo.com> Cc: Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 1:10 AM Subject: Re: Problem to Insert the row that i was deleted As Lars mentioned, the row is not physically deleted. The way which Hbase uses is to insert a cell called "tombstone" which is used to mask the deleted value, but value is still there (if the deleted value is in the same memstore with tombstone, it will be deleted in the memstore, so you will not find tombstone and deleted value in the same HFile.) This is new in hbase 0.92.0. In the previous 0.90.*, both tombstone and deleted value are in HFile. If you want to read your deleted data, you can read the HFile which exists in server side which is supported by 0.90.* version. If you just read the table content at client side, I am afraid you have to first run the major compaction, and then reinsert your deleted data. Reagards!
