Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-11476:
----------------------------------------
{code}
+ <para>You can specify the maximum number of versions of a value that
HBase retains, per column
+ family. When the maximum number of versions is reached, the oldest
version is deleted.
+ By default, only the newest version is kept.</para>
+ </listitem>
{code}

are eventually* deleted. By default ...
I'm going to fix this on commit. Thanks misty.
