--------------------------------------
Summary: Tightening of the CP contract
Key: HBASE-15735
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15735
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Anoop Sam John
Assignee: Anoop Sam John
This is after the discussion in dev@ under 'DISCUSSION: A tightening of the CP
contract in hbase 2.0.0'
"CPs can read Cells passed them on a CP hook invocation but
they must not retain references beyond the life of the invocation; they
must copy Cells if they intend to retain them beyond the invocation, pass
the Cells off to upper tiers, or return them otherwise to clients."
Also this Jira will cleanup some code which was doing the copy of the Cells
while passing to CP hooks assuming it might keep cell refs. Now as we say it
explicitly in CP APIs, we dont need this copy.
