Hi folks,
I am seeing some unexpected behavior with HBase 0.20.6 when deleting columns.
Our cluster has been running for some time however we recently upgraded from
Hbase 0.20.3. The family I am writing to is specified as VERSIONS => '1' when
doing a describe, yet HBase appears to be maintaining several versions of the
columns.
Below is a shell session demonstrating the problem. Is this a configuration
problem, as-designed, or possibly a bug?
Thanks,
Mike
