clean up inconsistencies around deletes
---------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-720
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-720
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: stack
Compaction clears all cells behind any found 'delete' cell. This makes for an
inconsistency in that before the compaction runs, you can do a get or scan on a
timestamp older than the delete cell and get results. Confusing.
Either preserve all cells for all time (or until > MAX_VERSIONS or TTL) or else
make it so presence of a delete cell in the future stops client fetching
anything older (expensive).
