Michael Stack 46e53b089a HBASE-11229 Change block cache percentage metrics to be doubles rather than ints
In HBASE-8370 "Report data block cache hit rates apart from aggregate cache hit rates"
discussion highlights small changes in caching percentage can make for large
changes in cache contents; e.g. lots of data blocks may be getting evicited
but because meta blocks -- index and blooms -- are staying in cache with
high hit rates, a large data block eviction may show as a small change in
overall cache percentage (e.g. from 99.99 to 99.11).

Changes the getBlockCacheHitPercent from an int to a double.
Also changes name of the jmx metric blockCountHitPercent to be
blockCacheCountHitPercent instead.

May be incompatible change.

Apache HBase [1] is an open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented
store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for
Structured Data by Chang et al.[2]  Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed
data storage provided by the Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like
capabilities on top of Apache Hadoop [3].

To get started using HBase, the full documentation for this release can be
found under the doc/ directory that accompanies this README.  Using a browser,
open the docs/index.html to view the project home page (or browse to [1]).
The hbase 'book' at http://hbase.apache.org/book.html has a 'quick start'
section and is where you should being your exploration of the hbase project.

The latest HBase can be downloaded from an Apache Mirror [4].

The source code can be found at [5]

The HBase issue tracker is at [6]

Apache HBase is made available under the Apache License, version 2.0 [7]

The HBase distribution includes cryptographic software. See the export control
notice here [9].
