Description

I tried this:

    Get get1 = new Get(Bytes.toBytes("row1"));
    get1.addColumn(Bytes.toBytes("colfam1"), Bytes.toBytes("qual1"));

    Get get2 = new Get(get1);
    Result result = table.get(get2);

It fails (eventually) with:

Mar 20, 2015 1:47:13 PM org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RpcRetryingCaller callWithRetries
INFO: Call exception, tries=13, retries=35, started=170167 ms ago, cancelled=false, msg=row 'null' on table 'testtable' at null

And since you cannot assign a row key other than using the only other constructor Get(byte[] row) it means that above copy of get seems useless.

Need to fix so that row is copied too.
