 * Send Mutations to a single Table in Accumulo.

 * threads it should use. As the user adds mutations to the batch writer, it buffers them. Once the
 * buffered mutations have used half of the user specified buffer, the mutations are dumped into the
 * background to be written by a thread pool. If the user specified memory completely fills up, then
 * writes are held. When a user calls flush, it does not return until all buffered mutations are
 * written.

 * BatchWriter instance, the user should close the current instance and create a new instance. This
