> In looking at ACCUMULO-4375, I was a little frustrated at how we have 3x constructors than Key really provides just to support {{byte[]}}, {{Text}}, and {{CharSequence}} arguments. Additionally, the {{copy}} argument forces the user to use the most specific (most arguments) constructor if they want to avoid the copy. This makes constructing a Key from just a row while avoiding a copy very pedantic.
> I think a KeyBuilder (or KeyFactory) class would be a big usability benefit and reduce the amount of code that clients have to write to most efficiently construct Keys.
