[HBASE-3725] HBase increments from old value after delete and write to disk

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Resolved
• Affects Version/s: 0.90.1
• Fix Version/s: 0.92.3
• Component/s: io, regionserver
• Assignee: ShiXing

Description

Deleted row values are sometimes used for starting points on new increments.

To reproduce:
Create a row "r". Set column "x" to some default value.
Force hbase to write that value to the file system (such as restarting the cluster).
Delete the row.
Call table.incrementColumnValue with "some_value"
Get the row.
The returned value in the column was incremented from the old value before the row was deleted instead of being initialized to "some_value".

Code to reproduce:
