Lars Hofhansl resolved HBASE-6603.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.92.2)

Turns out that 0.92 does not collect this metric, so backport is not needed.

> Running an HBase scan load through the profiler revealed that RegionMetricsStorage.incrNumericMetric is called way too often.
> It turns out that we make this call for *each* KV in StoreScanner.next(...).
> Incrementing AtomicLong requires expensive memory barriers.
> The observation here is that StoreScanner.next(...) can maintain a simple 
> long in its internal loop and only update the metric upon exit. Thus the AtomicLong is not updated nearly as often.
> That cuts about 10% runtime from scan only load (I'll quantify this better soon).
