> Key: HBASE-3730
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3730
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Joe Pallas
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current DEFAULT_VERSIONS (in HColumnDescriptor) is 3, but there is no
> particular reason for this. Many uses require only 1, and having a default
> that is different makes people confused (e.g., "Do I need multiple versions
> to support deletes properly?").
> Reasonable values for the default are 1 and max int. 1 is the better choice.
> Discussion on the mailing list suggests that the current value of 3 may have
> been derived from an example in the Bigtable paper. The example does not
> suggest that there is anything special about 3, it's just an illustration.
