• [java-client] implement ColumnPredicate API
  http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2591/
• KUDU-1235. Add Get API http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2519/
• KUDU-1379 - this is a regression blocker where column range predicates on
  float/double/bool columns no longer work. We should either fix this or
  revert the predicate changes that Dan committed last week (preferably just
  fix it, since I dont think it's too hard)
• KUDU-1380 - this is not a regression but it's a case where we can get
  silently wrong results (duplicated rows) from the C++ scanner. Since it's a
  correctness issue I marked it as blocker. Does anyone have time to look at
  this today/tomorrow? If not I will try to take a look.
• KUDU-1377
