-------------------------------------------------------------

The redundant HRegionServer methods pass on their redundancy to HRegion.  Do we also want to trim the redundancy in HRegion?  A wider variety of classes use HRegion and would have to be modified if we change that too - not that this is a problem, but do we want to leave in some of the client convenience?

Answer: Yes, trim it all.  I'm on it.

> There are too many overloaded methods in HRegionServerInterface and consequently HRegionServer.
> These should be consolidated into one method per operation and the client should pass the appropriate parameters to the server.
> On the server side, the single method should be able to handle parameters that are not supplied, e.g.,
> - long values that are not supplied should be -1
> - boolean values should be supplied appropriately
> - objects that are not supplied should be passed as null
> All these overloaded methods eventually call the same method on the server side eventually. Removing the overloads would make following control flow easier.
