> [Note: This issue is relevant only for cases that don't use the default 
> "time" based versions, but provide/manage versions explicitly.]
> The fix for HBASE-1485 ensures that if there are multiple puts with the same 
> timestamp the later one wins.
> However, if there is a delete for a specific timestamp, then the later put 
> doesn't win. 
> Say for example the following is the sequence of operations:
> put                         row/col/v1 - value1
> deleteColumn     row/col/v1
> put                         row/col/v1 - value2
> Without the deleteColumn(), HBASE-1485 ensures that "value2" is the winner.
> However, with the deleteColumn() thrown into the mix, the delete wins, and 
> one cannot insert a new value at that version. [The only, unsatisfactory, 
> workaround at this point seems to be trigger a major compaction. The major 
> compact would clear the delete marker, and allow new cells to be created with 
> that version again.] 
> ---
> Seems like it might not be too complicated to extend the fix for HBASE-1485 
> to also respect ordering between delete/put operations. I'll look into this 
> further.
