This patch doesn't seem to be coherent.  It seems to be a mix of things Alex.  
Good on you.

    This is odd.

    This should do Bytes.toBytes() and pass the String version (else you are 
susceptible to the machines' locale -- toBytes does UTF-8 all the time).

    Not sure I grok this change.

    Is this change related to this patch?

    Should change the javadoc?  Can we not get the table name any more once 
this change goes in?  Get the table name from HRI I mean?  We'd have to do look 
up into a Map of UUID to tablename?
    
    Yeah, what is a tableNameUUID?  Its just a UUID?

bq.  -------

bq.  The issue is we have to have a custom compareter for metakey/rootkey 
scanning to work. One of the reasons why this is required is that the 
tablenames are currently lexically sorted.
