Description

Lets add default implementaitons – even if they are just throw NotImplementedException – to our Table Interface now we are up on jdk8. Table implementations are how the likes of hbase-indexer modify hbase --via a publically supported API – and I notice that the kafka proxy now goes the same route. Typically, these customizations are only interested in one or two methods of Table adding in their own implementations but they have to supply implementations for all Table methods in their override. Lets help them out by adding defaults (I had a patch but lost it...).
