Review request for hbase.


Changes
-------

Improved a little, to address the comments from Benoit Sigoure, at 
http://review.hbase.org/r/78/#review91.


Summary
-------

HBASE-2468: Improvements to prewarm META cache on clients.

Changes:
1. Add new HTable methods which support region info de/serialation, and region 
cache prewarm: 
- void serializeRegionInfo(): clients could perform a large scan for all the 
meta for the table, serialize the meta to a file. MR job can ship a copy of the 
meta for the table in the DistributedCache
- Map<HRegionInfo, HServerAddress> deserializeRegionInfo(): MR job can 
deserialize the region info from the DistributedCache 
- prewarmRegionCache(Map<HRegionInfo, HServerAddress> regionMap): MR job can 
prewarm local region cache by the deserialized region info.

2. For each client, each region cache read-miss could trigger read-ahead some 
number of rows in META. This option could be turned on and off for one 
particular table. 


This addresses bug HBASE-2468.

> A couple different use cases cause storms of reads to META during startup. 
> For example, a large MR job will cause each map task to hit meta since it 
> starts with an empty cache.
> A couple possible improvements have been proposed:
>  - MR jobs could ship a copy of META for the table in the DistributedCache
>  - Clients could prewarm cache by doing a large scan of all the meta for the 
> table instead of random reads for each miss
>  - Each miss could fetch ahead some number of rows in META
