Description

In almost all other main interface class/APIs we have changed KeyValue to Cell. But missing in WALEdit. This is public marked for Replication (Well it should be for CP also)
These 2 APIs deal with KVs
add(KeyValue kv)
ArrayList<KeyValue> getKeyValues()

Suggest deprecate them and add for 0.98
add(Cell kv)
List<Cell> getCells()

And just replace from 1.0
