     29  * A collection that associates an ordered pair of keys, called a row key and a
     30  * column key, with a single value. A table may be sparse, with only a small
     31  * fraction of row key / column key pairs possessing a corresponding value.
     32  *
     33  * <p>The mappings corresponding to a given row key may be viewed as a {@link
     34  * Map} whose keys are the columns. The reverse is also available, associating a
     35  * column with a row key / value map. Note that, in some implementations, data
     36  * access by column key may have fewer supported operations or worse performance
     37  * than data access by row key.
     38  *
     39  * <p>The methods returning collections or maps always return views of the
     40  * underlying table. Updating the table can change the contents of those
     41  * collections, and updating the collections will change the table.
     42  *
     43  * <p>All methods that modify the table are optional, and the views returned by
     44  * the table may or may not be modifiable. When modification isn't supported,
     45  * those methods will throw an {@link UnsupportedOperationException}.
