+Typically, a table will have multiple iterators. Accumulo configures a set of
+system level iterators for each table. These iterators provide core
+functionality like visibility label filtering and may not be removed by
+users. User level iterators are applied in the order of their priority.
+Priority is a user configured integer; iterators with lower numbers go first,
+passing the results of their iteration on to the other iterators up the
+stack.
