@keith-turner @dhutchis I pushed another commit with the design changes we
discussed. Now it is possible to write
```java
Key.builder().row(new Text("row")).family(new byte[] { 1, 2, 3
}).qualifier("foo").build()
```
to build a `Key`. There is still to decide about column family, qualifier
and visibility names and, while my point is that we should be consistent and
keep the `column` before the component name, I don't have a strong opinion
about that.
@joshelser I added two tests, one to check if the bytes are reused if
`copyBytes` is `false` and one to be sure that they are not if `copyBytes` is
`true`.
p.s. because a lot of people are commenting, I'm going to pile new commits
and then squash them at the end, if and when you decide to merge.
