Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-14503:
---------------------------------------
We can't change the ordering of key's as that would mean that scan's would then
get things out of order on either new or old files.
We can't scan the whole "empty qualifier" column looking for deletes as that
could be more data than can be in memory.
Thoughts ?
Should we just stop letting people put empty qualifiers?

> Since key type is only used as the tie breaker if a user issues a put with an
> empty qualifier it can hide the delete when versions on a scan is 1.
