1) I was thinking an individual constriant could check any/all of the cf/cq 
being used. We can do it via (2) where we have an abstract Constraint that 
makes it easy to check a given cf/cq.

So, no (kinda) and yes. For (2), I think it will be community usage/findings as 
to what people find useful - we can decide on a case-by-case basis if it is a 
valid contribution.

We can add order preserving, if that makes sense. I can see it for cases where 
you want to check the cheap constraints first and then do the expensive only if 
the other ones pass.

I wanted to let people throw whatever exception they wanted to so they can be 
specific as to what happened with minimal overhead. For instance, the 
IntegerConstraint lets the constraint just check to and then throw a 
NumberFormatException if it fails. However, the code for the user (the actual 
constraint implementation) is super concise and easy.

Other (non-expected) Throwables would be handled higher up by 
RegionCoprocessorHost.

I don't think that runtime exceptions on a constraint should be allowed to 
propagate up the CPHost  - if the constraint fails then that put should fail, 
but not anything else.

+1

+1 That was some leftover cruft from development.

Just trying to be explicit with the naming.

I like the idea of the remove, but we just need to make sure it gets well 
documented as to what happens - I could see a people being confused.

Its meant to be both an example and a test util. I can move it into test, but I 
can see cases where people might want to just check to make sure they only 
store values. Yes, it a really simple use case, but it also helps people to 
build more complex ones

Yeah, maybe. This is just an example. Depends on what people want to do...Maybe 
the fact that the impl can vary so widely makes the case for this to be a test 
class.

bq.  Currently missing implementation for disableConstraints() since that will 
require adding removeCoprocessor() to HTD (also comments on if this is worth it 
would be good).
