Add auto-primary-key feature
----------------------------
Key: HBASE-587
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-587
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
Priority: Trivial
Some folks seem to be interested in having their row keys automatically
generated in a unique fashion. Maybe we could do something like allow the user
to specify they want an automatic key, and then we'll generate a GUID that's
unique for that table and return it as part of the commit. Not sure what the
mechanics would look like exactly, but seems doable and it's going to be a more
prevalent use case as people start to put data into HBase first without
touching another system or pushing data without a natural unique primary key.
