ramkrishna.s.vasudevan updated HBASE-10885:
-------------------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-10885_2.patch
Fixes the bug, when two deleteFamilies are issued , first with a lower
timestamp and next with a higher timestamp. The delete tombstone of the higher
one should be applied and the visibility expression of the higher should be
considered and mask based on that rather than considering the visibility
expression of the delete family with lower timestamp.

> Accumulo can specify visibility expressions for delete markers. During
> compaction the cells covered by the tombstone are determined in part by
> matching the visibility expression. This is useful for the use case of data
> set coalescing, where entries from multiple data sets carrying different
> labels are combined into one common large table. Later, a subset of entries
> can be conveniently removed using visibility expressions.
> Currently doing the same in HBase would only be possible with a custom
> coprocessor. Otherwise, a Delete will affect all cells covered by the
> tombstone regardless of any visibility expression scoping. This is correct
> behavior in that no data spill is possible, but certainly could be
> surprising, and is only meant to be transitional. We decided not to support
> visibility expressions on Deletes to control the complexity of the initial
> implementation.
