Records seen with _hoodie_is_deleted set to true on non-existing record

If a Hudi table, let's say, has zero rows and I issue an upsert with _hoodie_is_deleted = true then the record is still visible when I read the table. It works if the record was already existing but as a user I expect the same behavior on a non-existing record, too. So far the only way out seems to be to use soft delete or query with _hoodie_is_deleted = false
