> HBASE-2037 introduced a new MemStoreScanner which triggers a ConcurrentSkipListMap.buildFromSorted clone of the memstore and snapshot when starting a scan.
> After upgrading to 0.20.3, we noticed a big slowdown in our use of short scans.  Some of our data repesent a time series.   The data is stored in time series order, MR jobs often insert/update new data at the end of the series, and queries usually have to pick up some or all of the series.  These are often scans of 0-100 rows at a time.  To load one page, we'll observe about 20 such scans being triggered concurrently, and they take 2 seconds to complete.  Doing a thread dump of a region server shows many threads in ConcurrentSkipListMap.biuldFromSorted which traverses the entire map of key values to copy it.
