Matt Corgan commented on HBASE-7320:
------------------------------------

{quote}How about the values, can we assume them in one piece, still?{quote}yes, 
an individual value is contiguous too.  The CellScanner.advance() call decodes 
all these fields into optimal format for reading, and then the 
CellScanner.current() method returns a reference to "PrefixTreeCell implements 
Cell".  When you call cell.getWhatever(), it's a trivial pass-through call to 
each pre-extracted field.  For example, timestamp has already been converted 
from bytes to a "long" before you call cell.getTimestamp().

> Replace calls to KeyValue.getBuffer with appropropriate calls to getRowArray, 
> getFamilyArray(), getQualifierArray, and getValueArray

> In many places this is simple task of just replacing the method name.
> There, however, quite a few places where we assume that:
> # the entire KV is backed by a single byte array
> # the KVs key portion is backed by a single byte array
> Some of those can easily be fixed, others will need their own jiras.
