* in couchbase2 work around ReactiveX/RxJava#3824
* accumulo test hangs, so skip tests
* hbase10 and asynchbase test crashes with unknown class version, so skip tests
* orientdb tests fail, so skip
* core jar-with-deps fails, so keep them broken out

fixes #704, fixes #705

* Optimise fillBytesImpl so it doesn't trigger an Exception on every byte[] generated.

* Make the verbose output of BasicDB thread safe.

* Optimise the verbose output of BasicDB when using multiple threads

Solve issue with hdrhistogram+raw which had combined hdrhistogram with histogram

collector. This will allow greater insight into the generations.
Now the client will emmit the stats for each collector at the end of
run along with the totals.

the JVM spent in GC. It now prints the time and percent of time in
the final output.
Also fix cases where the garbage collector implementation returns
-1 if the count or time isn't implemented.

when the status thread is enabled. This tracks the GC count, thread count,
memory used and average system load (if implemented) over time as well as
the max and min for each measurement at the end.
Also, every run will now measure the total number of garbage collections
from all pools.

This will be used for #653 for databases that require keys or other values to use a limited character set. This generator will create a sequence of strings using a defined list of UTF code points from which to pull.

Fixed nits suggested by @busbey

Eventually it would be nice to move this out into a proper generator with enums to
save space, but as users may have extended CoreWorkload and could be using the
"operationchooser" field, we'll just break it out into a static function so as to
avoid breaking anyone's code.

Added zeropadding parameter for specifing the number of 0s to left pad the recordnumber. Usefull when using string sort order
Added insertstart and insertcount parameters to run in parallel

Introduce an "ordered" distribution which uses sequential numbers

These will be used for #653 to write timestamps and numeric values
to the ByteIterator maps.

Fixes #320

Fixes #604

- define checkstyle configs in as few places as possible
- use checkstyle:check since it has defaults that match what we want (fail after logging to console)
- modules that have current failures set property checkstyle.failOnViolation to false.

updating readme

updating package info

perfecting logic for http solr clients for all operations

renamed properties, tested cloud mode and cleaned code

removed dependency on dynamic field names, updated readme

now enforcing checkstyle

adding solr artifact

removing test cases relying on external dependencies

removed unused maven dependencies, added batch mode support, all try blocks now catch eplicit exceptions, Query/UpdateResponse status codes are handled more granularly, updated readme, added sample schema.xml file to support default field names in ycsb client, updated all license headers to 2016, using SolrClient object as primary client type regardless if Solr is running in Cloud or Stand-alone mode

cleaned code and config files, now accepting a solr base url property, simplified sample schema.xml file, renamed class to SolrClient, now updating documents atomically, added batch support to delete method

updated new line spacing of pom file comments

removed sample schema file, updated readme with more indepth explanation on running/setting up the solr-binding

removed some code lines no longer in use

renamed zookeeper param name, now throwing caught exceptions where appropriate, debug messages are now being logged on stderr

now returning an appropriate error if we receive an unexpected response from solr server, repeated calls to getResults is no longer

now using singletonMap to store update params in, fixed typo and missing id field in sample config in README
