Hi,

I noticed that HColumnDescriptor.KEEP_DELETED_CELLS is enabled by
default on new Phoenix tables. This seems like a bit of an unexpected
default, as it means (at least as far as I understand it) that data
deleted with delete statements will never actually be cleared, even
after a major compaction.

Can anyone let me know what the reasoning is behind this? Any
functional requirement within Phoenix that makes use of this default
property (i.e. if I disable it in my DDL, is there anything that we
know won't work then)? And then going further, is this something we
definitely want to keep as a default?

Thanks,

Gabriel
