Description

To minimize cost of migration, it is desirable to pull new APIs into 0.20.6 (0.89)
This way client code compiles against both hbase jars.

Our changes include:
making MetaScanner public class
adding the following ctor for Put

  public Put(byte[] row, long ts) {
    this(row, null);
    setTimeStamp(ts);
  }

adding the following ctor for HColumnDescriptor:

  public HColumnDescriptor(final byte [] familyName, final int maxVersions,
	      final String compression, final boolean inMemory,
	      final boolean blockCacheEnabled,
	      final int timeToLive, final String bloomFilter) {
	  this(familyName, maxVersions,
	       compression, inMemory,
	       blockCacheEnabled,
	       timeToLive,!bloomFilter.equals("NONE"));
  }
