Description

HBase - support visibilities on table clear

We do an optimized delete when removing Filter.INCLUDE - possibly this will not work if secure labels are enabled in HBase. Look into this and verify if something needs to be done.

Research direction

Locate the HBase code path that performs the optimized delete when removing Filter.INCLUDE. Review how that delete interacts with HBase secure labels, then verify whether table clearing remains correct when visibilities are enabled. Done means confirming the behavior and making any required change, with relevant HBase behavior covered by tests.
