REST Multi Gets
---------------

                 Key: HBASE-3541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3541
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: rest
            Reporter: Elliott Clark
            Priority: Minor


Users currently using the REST interface do not have a way to ask for multiple 
rows within one http call.

For my use case I want to get a set of rows that I know the key before hand.  
It's a very small percentage of my table and may not be contiguous so the 
scanner is not the right use-case for me.  Currently the http overhead is the 
largest percentage of my processing time.

Ideally I'd like to create a patch that would act very similar to:

GET /table/?row[]="rowkey"&row[]="rowkey_two"

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{ 
   "Rows":[ << Array of results equivalent to a single get >>]
}



This should be pretty backward compatible.  As it's just making the row key 
into a query string.
