[~stack] 

Re setClearBufferOnFail:

It's there to possibly replace HTable.setAutoFlush(boolean autoFlush, boolean 
clearBufferOnFail) which does not exist on Table.  The clearBufferOnFail is set 
in a whole bunch of places where autoFlush is set to false... i.e. 
setAutoFlush(false, true).  I'm not sure if Table.setClearBufferOnFail(true) is 
the way to go, but it might work.  Is that something worth exposing?


Re: try(...)

There are a lot of Closables to close in the brave new world of Connection -> 
Table / RegionLocator / Admin world.  Any Closables created in the try(...) 
section are automatically closed in Java 7.  So...

try (Connection conn = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf); Table t = 
conn.getTable(TABLE_NAME) {
 ...
}

is a shortcut for 

Connection conn = null;
Table t = null;
try {
  ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf);
 Table t = conn.getTable(TABLE_NAME) {
 ...
} finally {
  if (conn != null) conn.close();
  if (t != null) t.close();
}

There is no explicit finally needed with Closables...  Does that sound 
reasonable?

I still have quite a bit to do with this patch, apparently.  Tests are failing. 
 I might reduce the scope of the commit so that the tests don't fail.
