> This is a refactor to move more of the code towards using interfaces for proper encapsulation of logic.
> The amount of code touched is large, but it should be fairly easy to review.  It changes variable declarations from HTable to HTableInterface where the following holds:
> # The declaration being updated won't break assignment
> # The declaration change does not break the compile (eg trying to access non-interface methods)
> The two main situations are to change something like this:
> {code}
> HTable h = new HTable(c, tn);
> {code}
> to
> {code}
> HTableInterface h = new HTable(c, tn);
> {code}
> and this:
> {code}
> public void doSomething(HTable h) { ... }
> {code}
> to this:
> {code}
> public void doSomething(HTableInterface h) { ... }
> {code}
> This gets most of the obvious cases out of the way and prepares for more complicated interface refactors in the future.  In method signatures, I changed parameters, but did _not_ change any public or protected method return values, since that would violate criteria #1 above and break compatibility.
