Description

From Enis Soztutar in the description for HBASE-14997, he suggests:

• Cleanup ByteArrayComparable interface (see the TODO at the class)
• Maybe introduce a Condition or a similar concept and do checkAndPut(Condition condition, Put put) and change filters to use that as well.
• Introducing Condition like thing will allow us to have an interface like: checkAndMutate(List<Condition> conditions, List<Mutation> mutations).
• BinaryComparator, etc are not "Comparators", they are comparables.
