/**
 * Defines how value for specific column is interpreted and provides utility
 * methods like compare, add, multiply etc for them. Takes column family, column
 * qualifier and return the cell value. Its concrete implementation should
 * handle null case gracefully. 
 * Refer to {@link org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.coprocessor.LongColumnInterpreter} 
 * for an example.
 * <p>
 * Takes two generic parameters and three Message parameters. 
 * The cell value type of the interpreter is &lt;T&gt;.
 * During some computations like sum, average, the return type can be different
 * than the cell value data type, for eg, sum of int cell values might overflow
 * in case of a int result, we should use Long for its result. Therefore, this
 * class mandates to use a different (promoted) data type for result of these
 * computations &lt;S&gt;. All computations are performed on the promoted data type
 * &lt;S&gt;. There is a conversion method
 * {@link ColumnInterpreter#castToReturnType(Object)} which takes a &lt;T&gt; type and
 * returns a &lt;S&gt; type.
 * The AggregateIm&gt;lementation uses PB messages to initialize the
 * user's ColumnInterpreter implementation, and for sending the responses
 * back to AggregationClient.
