Please don't cross-post, your question is about HBase not MapReduce itself so I put mapreduce-user@ in BCC.
0.20.3 is, relatively to the age of the project, as old as my grand-mother so you should consider upgrading to 0.90 or 0.92 which are both pretty stable. I'm curious about the shell's behavior you are encountering. Would it be possible for you to show us the exact trace of what you are doing in the shell? To be clear, here's what I'd like to see: - A get of the row you want to delete. Feel free to zero out the values. - A deleteall of that row. - Another get of that row. - A delete of a column (that should work according to your email). - A last get of that row.
