> It seems to me there is an inconsistency (or error) in the Thrift2 {{TDelete}} struct and its documentation. The docs for the {{TDelete}} struct state:
> {quote}
> If no timestamp is specified the most recent version will be deleted.  To delete all previous versions, specify the DELETE_COLUMNS TDeleteType.
> {quote}
> ...which implies that the default is {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMN}} (singular), not {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMNS}} (plural).
> However, the {{deleteType}} field in the {{TDelete}} struct defaults to the value {{1}}, which is {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMNS}} (plural) in {{/src/main/resources/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/thrift2/hbase.thrift}}. The field is currently (r1239241) defined as follows:
> {{4: optional TDeleteType deleteType = 1,}}
> I'd suggest that the default for this optional field is changed to {{TDeleteType.DELETE_COLUMN}} (singular). The line above from the {{TDelete}} struct would then become:
> {{4: optional TDeleteType deleteType = 0,}}
> Since this change just involves changing a {{1}} into a {{0}}, I'll leave the trivial patch to someone who can also commit it in one go. Thanks in advance. :)
