zero timestamp and deletes

Mikhail Bautin 2011-07-02, 01:36

Hello,

While working on a new unit test for multi-column scanning I noticed that deletes are apparently handed differently when the timestamp is 0. I am adding a delete using deleteColumns(family, qualifier, timestamp), and the column is not being deleted. Does a zero timestamp have some special meaning?

Thanks,
--Mikhail

I don't recall 0 having special meaning (MAX_LONG does; it'll get
replace with current time)..
