------------------------------
    Summary: Use Enum instead of String for RegionConfig  (was: pre-defined type for JAVA api(java client, geode client, server side) to avoid developer typo)

>             Project: Geode
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Peter Tran
>            Priority: Major
>          Time Spent: 2.5h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> ### Why
> for the java developer , especially for newbie of gemfire/geode, it is confused to get exact correct type of region.
> **As Java developer**
> **I want ** there is a pre-defined region type,  such as constant interface, enum or other.
> **So that ** I can refer it and pass it as a parameter in my code more easier.
> ### Acceptance Criteria
> ```gherkin
> Scenario: auto-complete like functionality
> Given I am creating a region via the RegionConfig class
> When I use the method .setType()
> Then there is a pre-defined region type for me to choose from with one of the following options (see setShortcutAttributes on RegionConfig.class)
> LOCAL,LOCAL_HEAP_LRU,LOCAL_OVERFLOW,LOCAL_PERSISTENT,LOCAL_PERSISTENT_OVERFLOW,PARTITION,PARTITION_HEAP_LRU,PARTITION_OVERFLOW,PARTITION_PERSISTENT,PARTITION_PERSISTENT_OVERFLOW,PARTITION_PROXY,PARTITION_PROXY_REDUNDANT,PARTITION_REDUNDANT,PARTITION_REDUNDANT_HEAP_LRU,PARTITION_REDUNDANT_OVERFLOW,PARTITION_REDUNDANT_PERSISTENT,PARTITION_REDUNDANT_PERSISTENT_OVERFLOW,REPLICATE,REPLICATE_HEAP_LRU,REPLICATE_OVERFLOW,REPLICATE_PERSISTENT,REPLICATE_PERSISTENT_OVERFLOW,REPLICATE_PROXY
>    AND an example usage is provided on the wiki
> ```
> ```gherkin
> Scenario: Wiki
> Given I am looking at our wiki page
> When I review the example code for create region
> Then I am able to see all of the possible region types and how to properly specify each.
> ```
