Clean up bmt so that bulk loading cassandra is more approachable for newcomers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1197
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Jeremy Hanna


Currently the contrib/bmt example is kind of wacky.

In IRC, Jonathan described the current implementation of bmt:
"it's this weird "one row per column" thing, instead of one row per... row"
"you send a row whose columns are serialized rows."

It seems like a bulk loading system should be more usable and understandable by 
newcomers since that's often one of the first questions when people ask about 
cassandra - how do I load my existing data into it.

In addition, it would be nice to better document the bmt/bulk loader example 
and/or create a wiki page that describes in more detail how to do bulk loading 
with cassandra.
