/**
 * Single row result of a {@link Get} or {@link Scan} query.<p>
 *
 * This class is <b>NOT THREAD SAFE</b>.<p>
 *
 * Convenience methods are available that return various {@link Map}
 * structures and values directly.<p>
 *
 * To get a complete mapping of all cells in the Result, which can include
 * multiple families and multiple versions, use {@link #getMap()}.<p>
 *
 * To get a mapping of each family to its columns (qualifiers and values),
 * including only the latest version of each, use {@link #getNoVersionMap()}.
 *
 * To get a mapping of qualifiers to latest values for an individual family use
 * {@link #getFamilyMap(byte[])}.<p>
 *
 * To get the latest value for a specific family and qualifier use {@link #getValue(byte[], byte[])}.
 *
 * A Result is backed by an array of {@link Cell} objects, each representing
 * an HBase cell defined by the row, family, qualifier, timestamp, and value.<p>
 *
 * The underlying {@link Cell} objects can be accessed through the method {@link #listCells()}.
 * This will create a List from the internal Cell []. Better is to exploit the fact that
 * a new Result instance is a primed {@link CellScanner}; just call {@link #advance()} and
 * {@link #current()} to iterate over Cells as you would any {@link CellScanner}.
 * Call {@link #cellScanner()} to reset should you need to iterate the same Result over again
 * ({@link CellScanner}s are one-shot).
 *
 * If you need to overwrite a Result with another Result instance -- as in the old 'mapred'
 * RecordReader next invocations -- then create an empty Result with the null constructor and
 * in then use {@link #copyFrom(Result)}
