Thrift server to match the new java api.
----------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1744
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1744
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: thrift
            Reporter: Tim Sell
            Assignee: Tim Sell
             Fix For: 0.21.0


This mutateRows, etc.. is a little confusing compared to the new cleaner java 
client.
Thinking of ways to make a thrift client that is just as elegant. something 
like:

void put(1:Bytes table, 2:TPut put) throws (1:IOError io)

with:

struct TColumn {
  1:Bytes family,
  2:Bytes qualifier,
  3:i64 timestamp
}

struct TPut {
  1:Bytes row,
  2:map<TColumn, Bytes> values
}

This creates more verbose rpc  than if the columns in TPut were just map<Bytes, 
map<Bytes, Bytes>>, but that is harder to fit timestamps into and still be 
intuitive from say python.

Presumably the goal of a thrift gateway is to be easy first.
