----------------------------------------
Patch looks good

> If cell-level ACLs are used to give a user "W" permissions to a cell, they
> should be able to delete that cell. In testing the Java API, I've confirmed
> that this is respected. Using the HBase shell, however, a user trying to
> delete a cell to which they don't have read permissions results in a "Row Not
> Found" error.
> [~mbertozzi] tracked this down to a change introduced by HBASE-5837 wherein
> an attempt is made to get the cell before deleting it to confirm that it
> exists.
