> To make reading code easier, we should rename the CellUtil#get*Array methods (Value,Qualifier,Family,Row) to to CellUtil#clone*.  This eliminates the possibly confusion between the semantics of these methods (which allocate-copy) and that of Cell#get*Array (which essentially just returns a pointer).
