Over all these scanners we will be creating a Heap. (See in
StoreScanner where we make KeyValueHeap). Out of this cells come in
their key order. So said that, we will be opening and seeking to all
scanners and get cur cells from all.. Based on the comparator result
of all these cells emerge out from Heap. So it is not that we will
scan HFile scanners first and then do scan over memstore. Make sense?
