Description

We have a very typical use-case of wanting to retrieve all columns under a single row, single family.

Benchmarking regularly reproduces the same result. Using HTable.getScanner().next() to get the RowResult works twice as fast as HTable.getRow().

This is related to HBASE-631 by jdcryans which added this functionality to getRow().
