> There are a lot of places in our client side API where people probably don't care that Text is used in the underlying wire protocol. For instance, new HTable(HBaseConfig, Text) adds a little bit of extra hassle and code. 
> Where it makes sense, we should make an overload for constructors and client methods that can take a String and just convert it into a Text behind the scenes. This would beautify some of our code.
