> Our map of sorted edits kept per Store is currently called memcache.  Memcache is name of a well-known app that does something else.  Also, our 'memcache' is not a cache.  In BT its called 'memtable'.  Lets rename it.  It'll make it easier explaining hbase.  What'll we call it?  'updates', 'inmemory-store-edits'....
