Wellington Chevreuil updated HBASE-15447:
-----------------------------------------
Component/s: documentation
> Improve javadocs description for Delete methods
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-15447
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15447
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Wellington Chevreuil
> Priority: Minor
>
> Current javadoc for Delete operation is a bit confusing. Even though initial
> section does describe the proper behaviour, where calling delete without
> specifying timestamp will only delete records from now to the past, this is
> not as clear in the method specific description
> {noformat}
> public Delete(byte[] row)
> Create a Delete operation for the specified row.
> If no further operations are done, this will delete everything associated
> with the specified row (all versions of all columns in all families).
> Parameters:
> row - row key
> {noformat}
> The description can lead to the conclusion that all versions will be deleted.
> But that's not true if a row has a future timestamp. Although this is a very
> unusual scenario (having a future timestamp), it should still be clarified.
