Matt Corgan commented on HBASE-10529:
-------------------------------------
It feels a little strange for the long-term, but I don't see a problem with it
for now. My concern being that clone() normally does a deep copy of all bytes
that make up an object, however a Cell is not really an object so much as a
temporary view into memory. Cell is an interface, so which implementation
should the caller expect from clone()? I wonder if the caller could instead do
something more explicit like "new KeyValue(cell)".
