Description

Having duplicate calls for all counter operation is ugly. Distinguishing a Column from a CounterColumn is a good idea, but I feel we went too far in making counters an API on its own. This ticket proposes to merge the Counter and ColumnOrSuperColumn thrift structure (while keeping CounterColumn and CounterSuperColumn) and to remove all the duplicate API calls.
