default values in CREATE statements

[James Heather]

I'm wondering about support for DEFAULT statements in Phoenix when you 
specify column types.

I noticed that there's a ticket for it: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-476

Did this ever go anywhere?

The suggestion at the end for supporting DEFAULT NEXT VALUE FOR would 
also be a huge boon: we're looking at moving from MySQL to Phoenix, and 
default and auto_increment support would fill two of the most awkward gaps!
