ryan rawson commented on HBASE-2376:
------------------------------------
This would cause challenges when users set timestamps, also when people use the
unadorned cell-delete command which does an (internal) timestamp set. We might
have to add a new timestamp that would allow us to discern the age of a put
regardless of the actually 'user visible' timestamp.

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.20.3
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
>
> In order to support a particular kind of database "snapshot" feature which
> doesn't require copying data, we came up with the idea for a special
> SnapshotScanner that would present a view of your data at some point in the
> past. The primary use case for this would be to be able to recover
> particular data/rows (but not all data, like a global rollback) should they
> have somehow been messed up (application fault, application bug, user error,
> etc.).
