How to delete tombstone in Hbase

[#1]

Hi,

I am not able to permanently delete tombstone in Hbase.

Tombstone markers are flushed for non-MOB column family but it is not flushed for the MOB column family.

Any solution to delete the same so that we save some hdfs space.

Regards,

Satya

The cells which are deleted will have a tombstone marker and this will get deleted once you run a major compaction on that table. it deletes records and combines Hfiles.

This is the issue that even after running major compaction the tombstone markers were not deleted.
