Description
In order to configure RFile to encrypt, it is necessary to have an accumulo-site.xml on the classpath that holds the encryption parameters. This is less than convenient in the case that we want to create encrypted RFiles somewhere other than in the TabletServer. Instead, we should plumb an AccumuloConfiguration object all the way through the RFile.Writer creation path (which could probably be a lot simpler).
Tracking the compression configuration is one way to trace that path – we might be able to just replace the compression type string with the AccumuloConfiguration object.
