--------------------------------------
Summary: Modify cell tag handling code to treat the length as
unsigned
Key: HBASE-11437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11437
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Anoop Sam John
Assignee: Anoop Sam John
Fix For: 0.99.0, 0.94.5
We store each tag's length and total tags length with 2 bytes in KeyValue
buffer, HFiles etc and we treat these lengths as short through out the code.
So the max length can be Short.MAX_VALUE. We can treat these lengths as
unsigned and +ve always. So we can actually treat these lengths as int and
store with 2 bytes so that the max length can reach 65535.
