Harsh J resolved HBASE-878.
---------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
This is tricky to do since (I believe) you can't know when the deletion is
really done. I think a delete should just mean delete. Like in any other
FS/DB/System.
HBASE-848 should help a bit in achieving something but recovering cells
shouldn't be a regular part of something HTable carries.
A 'trash' for cells may make sense though, but we can pursue that on a new JIRA
if needed (so far, its not?)

> Sometimes cells get inserted by accident, and we want to delete them so that
> the cells behind them become visible. "delete" just inserts a deleted cell
> at a newer timestamp, which makes the entire column disappear; but in some
> cases it's preferable to make the next newest value the current value.
