title: hbase delete records based on portion of id
body: <p>I would like to know if it is possible to delete records from a table based on the id of the row. For example I created a table named 'hbase_test' with the family 'cmmnttest' and column 'cmmntpost' with the ids created as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'99.abcdefghijkil'
  '99.oiuerwrerwwre'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to find all rows that have id starting with '99' and delete them. This is a combination of a client id '99' and the value of the record.</p>
  
  <p>I found the following but not sure if it applies here:</p>
  
  <p>To delete a cell from ‘t1′ at row ‘r1′ under column ‘c1′
  marked with the time ‘ts1′, do:
  hbase> delete ‘t1′, ‘r1′, ‘c1′, ts1</p>
