Also, a SortedMap is not as friendly as something called "RowResult". IMO the
0.1 API was hard to use, 0.2 was way better and this would be like getting back
to 0.1. This gets uglier when we will be batching gets (returning a SortedMap
of SortedMaps?)

RowResult IsA SortedMap. For gets, it is a more appropriate return value if
gets are restricted to a single row.
For multi-row gets, a List<RowResult> would be more user friendly.

Regards HRS.get(), should we drop it since we merge get and getRow?
{quote}
We cannot drop this until we remove the old API, one release after we deprecate
it in favor of the new API.

> The current API does not scale very well. For each new feature, we have to
> add many methods to take care of all the overloads. Also, the need to batch
> row operations (gets, inserts, deletes) implies that we have to manage some
> "entities" like we are able to do with BatchUpdate but not with the other
> operations. The RowLock should be an attribute of such an entity.
> The scope of this jira is only to replace current API with another
> feature-compatible one, other methods will be added in other issues.
