hbase feature question

I was looking over the bigtable pdf again to make sure that's where I read 
this, but there setup allows Column Families to be removed from the database 
in  garbage collection. Is this a feature that will be added to hbase?

Basically it allows you to set a max ttl for a column row. I can see where 
this would be useful for nutch and other apps in crawling.
Example storing links from z page pointing to x page if not updated by y 
time it gets removed form the dataset. keeps from having the scan the whole 
dataset to remove stale data.

Currently, HBase supports specifying a maximum number of versions to
keep. Older versions are removed during compaction.

However, we do not currently support a TTL for columns. Please enter
a Jira using the component contrib/hbase and request a feature improvement.

Thanks.
