Description

When appending a tag an HBase cell, they seems to not really be append be live their own life. In the example below, I put a cell, append the TTL, and we can see between the 2 scans that only the TTL append cell expires. I was expecting those 2 cells to become one and expire together. This can be easily figured by looking at the returned timestamp from the scan.

hbase(main):082:0> put 't1', 'r1', 'f1:c1', 'value'
0 row(s) in 0.1350 seconds

hbase(main):083:0> append 't1', 'r1', 'f1:c1', '', { TTL => 5000 }
0 row(s) in 0.0080 seconds

hbase(main):084:0> scan 't1'
