> Key: HBASE-18142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18142
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API
> Reporter: Karthick
> Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai
> Labels: beginner
>
> When I tried to delete a cell using it's timestamp in the Hbase Shell, the
> previous versions of the same cell also got deleted. But when I tried the
> same using the Java API, then the previous versions are not deleted and I can
> retrive the previous values.
> https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-client/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/Delete.java
> see this file to fix the issue. This method (public Delete addColumns(final
> byte [] family, final byte [] qualifier, final long timestamp)) only deletes
> the current version of the cell. The previous versions are not deleted.
