I need to free hdd space, so I want to delete some unimportant rows I'm using Thrift call deleteAllRow(TABLE, ROWID); to perform deletion of about 10 000 row (when I loaded them it was about 30Gb). When I perform this operation I checked thru hbase shell that rows are deleted, but used space of the disk is not changed I performed compact and major_compact operations (they returned 0 processed rows) but space is not changed too. So quesition what should I also do to indicate hbase physically remove this rows
