Review request for hbase, Todd Lipcon, Michael Stack, and Jonathan Gray.


Changes
-------

Added Javadoc to TestMinVersions.


Summary
-------

Allow enforcing a minimum number of versions when TTL is enable for a store.
The GC logic for both versions and TTL is unified inside the ColumnTrackers.


This addresses bug HBASE-4071.

Testing
-------

Ran all tests. I get error (not failures) from two: TestDistributedLogSplitting and TestHTablePool. Both fail with or without my changes.
New tests: TestMinVersions.


Thanks,

Lars

> We were chatting today about our backup cluster.  What we want is to be able to restore the dataset from any point of time but only within a limited timeframe -- say one week.  Thereafter, if the versions are older than one week, rather than as we do with TTL where we let go of all versions older than TTL, instead, let go of all versions EXCEPT the last one written.  So, its like versions==1 when TTL > one week.  We want to allow that if an error is caught within a week of its happening -- user mistakenly removes a critical table -- then we'll be able to restore up the the moment just before catastrophe hit otherwise, we keep one version only.
