----------------------------------------
[~ivan.bella] for your PR, what made you decide on option #2 over option #1?

> The idea here is to allow an iterator stack to send back a special key or
> throw a special exception which will allow the tablet server to tear down the
> scan to be rebuilt later. This is to handle the case where an iterator is
> doing a lot of work without returning results to avoid starving out other
> scans.
> There are two thoughts on how to do this:
> 1) A special "interrupt" key is returned from the getTopKey call that is
> detected in the Tablet.nextBatch call, is not added to the results, but is
> used to add an unfinished range and results in the remaining ranges to be
> deemed unfinished.
> 2) An special exception is thrown from the next or seek call that included
> the key of the current position, and the same actions are taken as in 1).
