Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10719:
---------------------------------------
Didn't think of it that way, but that's even more general.
I wonder if in the end there is any advantage (other than simplicity) in having
a Cell implementation backed by byte[]s rather than a ByteBuffers.
> Cell interface may need a ByteBuffer rather than a byte[]

> The byte[] backing a cell may be off heap also. In such a case having a
> byte[] may require a copy offheap to on heap. So better to have ByteBuffer
> backing a Cell.
