------------------------------

I'll use Hex.  On the define, I think intent is clearer than doing ~SOMETHING.

> TestAcidGuarantee has a test whereby it attempts to read a number of columns from a row, and every so often the first column of N is different, when it should be the same.  This is a bug deep inside the scanner whereby the first peek() of a row is done at time T then the rest of the read is done at T+1 after a flush, thus the memstoreTS data is lost, and previously 'uncommitted' data becomes committed and flushed to disk.
> One possible solution is to introduce the memstoreTS (or similarly equivalent value) to the HFile thus allowing us to preserve read consistency past flushes.  Another solution involves fixing the scanners so that peek() is not destructive (and thus might return different things at different times alas).
