             Summary: Delete data for a column dropped from encoded immutable table
                 Key: PHOENIX-3605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3605
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Samarth Jain


As part of PHOENIX-3604, when a column is dropped from an encoded immutable table, we only mark the column as dropped in metadata. This way while we disallow access to the column through phoenix queries, the data is still around if someone accesses it directly via hbase. To truly drop the data, we would need to rewrite the packed encoded cell. We can do this during major compaction where we can replace the contents of a dropped column with null.
