Review Comment:
   My assumption about orderingValue is > 0 since ordering field is generally 
ts, and only delete could have ordering value = 0. Therefore, L542 favors new 
records.
   
   But if the ordering field could be a random column, then for delete, we 
probably need to handle delete differently from here. 
   
   So my question is: which case should we really worry about in Hudi? 
orderingValue > 0, or any values. Remember the orderingField can be a string 
also.
