gcloud happybase port violates happybase license #1762

Description

@wbolster

hello, happybase author here.

the gcloud happybase port violates my software's license. i do not like this.

the happybase license (mit+apache) is quite clear:

the above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
included in all copies or substantial portions of the software.

http://happybase.readthedocs.io/en/latest/license.html

however, i don't see my name, the required notice, or even a small "thanks" or whatever, anywhere, neither in the gcloud docs, nor in the distributed software package itself.

the happybase port that is distributed with hbase contains considerable amounts of code written by me (for instance the whole api, and the implementation of connection pooling and other features is the same). and even though various docstrings have been partially adapted, proper attribution is in order here as well.

please fix this ASAP since this is NOT ok at all.
