Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-11682:
--------------------------------------
Please note that "salting" as we use the term in HBase is different from
"salting" in the cryptographic sense. Our usage pattern is more accurately
described as "bucketing" (I think this is the term Phoenix uses), or "binning"
[0]. This horse has been beaten to death on the user and dev mailing lists, so
I won't belabor the point.
