> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.2.0, 0.1.2

> Internally we have a little tool that will do a rough estimate of how many rows there are in a dataHbase. It keeps getting larger and larger partitions running scanners until it turns up > N occupied rows. Once it has a number > N, it multiples by the partition size to get an approximate row count.
> This issue is about generalizing this feature so it could sit in the general hbase install. It would look something like:
> {code}
> long getApproximateRowCount(final Text startRow, final Text endRow, final long minimumCountPerPartition, final long maximumPartitionSize)
> {code}
> Larger minimumCountPerPartition and maximumPartitionSize values would make the count more accurate but would mean the method ran longer.
