    I was able to get geowave working with these changes ( [my branch](https://github.com/keith-turner/geowave/tree/use_locator_api)). Was able to successfully run the geowave test BasicMapReduceIT that @rfecher told me about in the geowave chat room.
    
    I'm happy with this PR and will push soon.

> TabletLocator already exists, but isn't officially a part of the "public API" and is clunky for users to invoke. In trying to co-locate external processes with the tabletservers that are hosting some data, it would be nice to have some means that users can invoke that will return them these assignments.
> Memory concerns are an issue for tables with many splits (e.g. avoiding creating a Set of 100k tablet locations for a table), but we also want to provide the ability to ask pointed questions. Likely building something that accepts a Range (or Collection<Range>) would be best.
