Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed]
Release Note: Changes format of region name. Adds an md5 suffix. Suffix
is now the name used as directory name in filesystem.

Committed. Thanks for sweet patch Kannan.
> 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaaaaaayyyyy too susceptible to hash clashes

> Kannan tripped over two regionnames that hashed the same:
> Here is code demo'ing that his two names hash the same:
> {code}
> package org;
> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;
> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.JenkinsHash;
> public class Testing {
> public static void main(final String [] args) {
>
> System.out.println(encodeRegionName(Bytes.toBytes("test1,6838000000,1273541236167")));
>
> System.out.println(encodeRegionName(Bytes.toBytes("test1,0520100000,1273541610201")));
> }
> /**
> * @param regionName
> * @return the encodedName
> */
> public static int encodeRegionName(final byte [] regionName) {
> return Math.abs(JenkinsHash.getInstance().hash(regionName,
> regionName.length, 0));
> }
> }
> {code}
> Need new encoding mechanism. Will need to migrate old regions to new schema.
