shrinking the amount used (was: Loaded hfile indexes occupy a good chunk of
heap; look into shrinking the amount used and/or evicting unused indices)

> I hung with a user Marc and we were looking over configs and his cluster
> profile up on ec2. One thing we noticed was that his 100+ 1G regions of two
> families had ~2.5G of heap resident. We did a bit of math and couldn't get
> to 2.5G so that needs looking into. Even still, 2.5G is a bunch of heap to
> give over to indices (He actually OOME'd when he had his RS heap set to just
> 3G; we shouldn't OOME, we should just run slower). It sounds like he needs
> the indices loaded but still, for some cases we should drop indices for
> unaccessed files.
