> Internally we have a little tool that will do a rough estimate of how many rows there are in a dataHbase.  It keeps getting larger and larger partitions running scanners until it turns up > N occupied rows.  Once it has a number > N, it multiples by the partition size to get an approximate row count.  
> This issue is about generalizing this feature so it could sit in the general hbase install.  It would look something like:
> {code}
> long getApproximateRowCount(final Text startRow, final Text endRow, final long minimumCountPerPartition, final long maximumPartitionSize)
> {code}
> Larger minimumCountPerPartition and maximumPartitionSize values would make the count more accurate but would mean the method ran longer.
