Title: Add support for Scanners with a prefix

I have implemented support for prefixed scanners here.
I have also updated the thrift dependency from 0.6.0 to 0.8.0 because of [a bug in 0.6.0](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1400)

I believe that the behavior of the :starts_with key is incorrect.
With HBase when you specify just the start key, the expected behavior is to get every record starting with that key *to the end of the table* but massive record uses it as a filter for returned rows. Not only is this very inefficient for large rowsets, HBase thrift provides a scanner option for just such a use case: scannerOpenWithPrefix.
