I think adding a Javadoc comment to your method additions (all of them, not
just this one) that explicitly state that they copy the provided byte arrays is
important. This can be a big performance impact -- you could point to the
`Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, byte[] cv, long ts, boolean deleted,
boolean copy)` constructor which does allow users to control whether or not the
constructor will do a copy of the provided byte arrays.
