Description
Currently at the Store level, HFileContext is created on demand using HStore state when HFile readers or writers are created. We can't create a HFileContext at store creation time and carry long term state within. Therefore we can't avoid adding more members to HStore even if we have already added a new member to HFileContext. This partially defeats why HFileContext is a good idea: It can/should encapsulate the state passed between Store and HFile so additions don't require new members to various Store and HFile classes.
