Title: fix for #16 - annotation timelines

Hi

we have implemented a solution for annotating timelines and plotting those annotations. To do this we introduced a separate hbase table to store those annotations and we "reserved" the metric "timelineannotation" to define, which puts are being treated as annotation values. In an annotation the value is a string. It can contain '_', which will be replaced with blanks for the plotted annotation.
Please send your comments about this solution proposal, then we can refine the final solution together.

Thanks and best regards,

Peter
