Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8029:
--------------------------------------
What Kevin is saying is that from the it is currently not possible to delete a
specific version of a column because the shell cannot set version delete
markers. He is right.
The reason is that unlike the Java API the shell does not let you specify the
type of the delete marker to set.
> delete with TS should only delete that cell, not all cells after.
