FW: Deletes not commiting from custom java API but work in shell interface

[Bell, Philip S CIV SPAWARSYSCEN-PACIFIC, 81320]

Using the following code, rows are never deleted even when identified and 
submitted for deletion to the batchwriter.
After running the code the rows still show up in search.

This has been seen in 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

The same rows can be deleted from the accumulo shell interface
