> With multiple Memtables, key caches and row caches holding DecoratedKey 
> references, it could potentially be a huge memory savings (and relief to GC) 
> to intern DecoratedKeys. Taking the idea farther, for the skinny row pattern, 
> and for certain types of wide row patterns, interning of column names could 
> be very beneficial as well (although we would need to wrap the byte[]s in 
> something for hashCode/equals).
> This ticket should explore the benefits and overhead of interning.
> Google collections/guava MapMaker is a very convenient way to create this 
> type of cache: example call:
