Can't do it (without low level massing HFiles, which you do not want to do). The best you can do (if you have HBASE-4536 and enabled KEEP_DELETED_CELLS for you column family) is to read the deleted rows back and write them again with a newer TS.

I read about HBASE-4536 but I'm not sure if this can effectively remove the tombstone marker? Any input is appreciated. Best Regards, Jerry
