So the url would be /table/multiget?row=rk1&row=rk2&row=rk3

> 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.
