stop using code mapping for method names in the RPC
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2219
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ipc
    Affects Versions: 0.20.3
            Reporter: ryan rawson
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.21.0
         Attachments: HBASE-2219.patch

since we use a sorted mapping of method names -> codes and send that over the 
wire, even trivial changes, such as adding a new call, become 
wire-incompatible.  This means many features which could easily have gone into 
a minor update must wait for a major update.  Eg: 2066, 1845, etc.

This will increase on-wire overhead, but the compatibility is worth it I think.
