/**
 * Implementing classes of this interface will be used for the tracking
 * and enforcement of columns and numbers of versions and timeToLive during
 * the course of a Get or Scan operation.
 * <p>
 * Currently there are two different types of Store/Family-level queries.
 * <ul><li>{@link ExplicitColumnTracker} is used when the query specifies
 * one or more column qualifiers to return in the family.
 * <ul><li>{@link ScanWildcardColumnTracker} is used when no columns are
 * explicitly specified.
 * <p>
 * This class is utilized by {@link ScanQueryMatcher} mainly through two methods:
 * <ul><li>{@link #checkColumn} is called when a Put satisfies all other
 * conditions of the query.
 * <ul><li>{@link #getNextRowOrNextColumn} is called whenever ScanQueryMatcher
 * believes that the current column should be skipped (by timestamp, filter etc.)
 * <p>
 * These two methods returns a 
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.ScanQueryMatcher.MatchCode}
 * to define what action should be taken.
 * <p>
 * This class is NOT thread-safe as queries are never multi-threaded
