Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-1923:
------------------------------------
Since the HFileOutputFormat just writes KeyValues, delete support should fall
out "for free". However, the APIs to construct the delete tombstones aren't
that obvious, so I think it will be an advanced feature. We should follow up
this JIRA with (a) much better documentation on HFileOutputFormat (b) some
better wrapper APIs for using it, as KeyValue is pretty low level.
