> 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 addColumn(final
> byte [] family, final byte [] qualifier, final long timestamp)) only deletes
> the current version of the cell. The previous versions are not deleted.
