range in N chunks

                 Key: HBASE-1183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1183
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: util
            Reporter: Jonathan Gray
            Assignee: Jonathan Gray
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.19.1, 0.20.0


For HBASE-1172 and other functionality coming soon, we need to be able to take 
a [start,stop) range and divide it into chunks.

For example, we have 10 regions but want to run 30 maps.  We need to divide 
each region into three key ranges for the start/stop of each scanner.

Implementing using java.math.BigInteger

Will also include a couple additional helpers in Bytes to make life easy.
