Delete row by row key not working through hbase shell and through JAVA API

[Rajam S <ra...@infinilytics.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to delete some spurious rows that got added in my hbase 
table. The command I am using is this:

deleteall 'my_table','row-key'

The rows don't get deleted through hbase shell and through java API. I 
am still debugging my code to see how these rows got added.
I tried deleting many other rows using above command and it works fine.
I have already checked the timestamp values, to rule out any errors 
there. My current timestamp is not earlier than the timestamp i am 
deleting.

Can somebody please help me to understand what is happening.

Thanks.
Regards,
Rajam S

I think the 'row-key' in your example is only a placeholder.

Can you describe the rowkey(s) in more detail ?

Which version of hbase are you using ?

Did you find anything interesting in the region server log where the row is
hosted ?

Cheers
