Chia-Ping Tsai commented on HBASE-18142:
----------------------------------------
bq. just pass flag in _createdelete_internal to call d.addColumns/d.addColumn.
Nice suggestion.
> Deletion of a cell deletes the previous versions too

> 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.

> 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.
