Make use of storefile 'order' making certain decisions during merge sort
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2649
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2649
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: stack
When we merge sort results currently there is no regard for storefile order.
This issue is about exploiting store file order at certain junctures. For
example, if we have N KVs all of the same coordinates -- same r/f/q/type/ts --
then the one from the storefile that was made most recently should prevail.
Also, we might consider order when looking at deletes so our tombstones are
less *tombstoney* in that they'll only apply to values that are in storefiles
older than the one that carries the delete marker (this latter sounds hard but
putting it out there anyways).
