Implement inexpensive seek operations in HFile
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1517
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1517
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Gray
             Fix For: 0.20.1


When we early-out of a row because of columns, versions, filters, etc... we 
seek to the end of that row one key at a time.  We should do the seek at the 
HFile level in cases where we would end up skipping blocks in the process.  
This will be very common in cases with relatively large rows and regex row 
filters.

If calls that end up doing nothing are constant time, we could also call this 
to seek to the next column (or even a specific column in ExplicitTracker case).
