----------------------------------------
Yeah, I am having hard time believing that hbase lets you do this. I am not
sure if the bug is present in some form in hbase. Your experiment does suggest
its there in hbase. If it is, then it certainly makes sense to patch hbase,
instead of special handling it ourselves.
