Ted Yu commented on HBASE-12321:
--------------------------------
bq. in the RecordWriter let the user know he does something that is not
supposed to work
Looks like the above approach is better compared to the other one.
> Delete#deleteColumn seems not to work with bulkload
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-12321
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12321
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Deletes, HFile, mapreduce
> Affects Versions: 0.94.6
> Reporter: Jan Lukavsky
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using call to {{Delete#deleteColumn(byte[], byte[])}} to produce
> KeyValues that are subsequently written to HFileOutputFormat and bulk loaded
> into HBase, the Delete seems to be ignored. The reason for this is likely to
> be the missing (HConstants.LATEST_TIMESTAMP) timestamp in the KeyValue with
> type {{KeyValue.Type.Delete}}. I think the RegionServer than cannot delete
> the contents of the column due to mismatch in the timestamp.
> When using {{Delete#deleteColumns}} everything works fine, because of
> different type {{KeyValue.Type.DeleteColumn}}.
