Deleting Single-Row Records from Hive on HBase

Scenario

Due to the limitations of underlying storage systems, Hive does not support the ability to delete a single piece of table data. In Hive on HBase, MRS Hive supports the ability to delete a single piece of HBase table data. Using a specific syntax, Hive can delete one or more pieces of data from an HBase table.
