Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-2370:
---------------------------------------
You can do that today. The maximum number of versions allowed in a column is
Integer.MAX_VALUE
2 billion versions should be enough.
> [hbase] Allow column families with an unlimited number of versions

> Key: HADOOP-2370
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2370
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Trivial
>
> For some applications, you'll want to be able to create column families that
> never eliminate their old version, essentially keeping a permanent record. We
> should support this option when creating a table, or if it already exists, it
> should be documented.
