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!

> 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.
