the semantics of HTable.put()
Hello list,
just two lines for a proposal. Wouldn't it make more sense if put would
return the old value in case the put ends up being an update instead of
an insert?
This would mimic HashMap's behavior and would be very useful. What do
you think?

Unfortunately this would be quite expensive to implement, that data is not
necessarly at hand when doing a put.
