> This issue is to discuss the possible addition to the HBase data model for "Row Groups".
> As we are nearing 1.0, discussing this for 0.98 seems the right time, especially given that we have custom region split policies, local transactions, and API overhaul around data types -> bytes. 
> Row Groups are semantic groupings of rows in the Hbase data model. All rows within a given row group share the same row group key. 
> Row groups are similar to column families in HBase or locality groups in BigTable, but transposed to rows instead of columns. All the rows within a row group physically belong together, and served by a single region. This means that region boundaries cannot split the row group. 
> Row groups are not predefined, and are dynamic. There can be one row group per row. 
> Row keys are fully optional, and backwards compatible.
