Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-11437:
----------------------------------------
bq.The latest patch is lesser in size than the older ones. Hope all the places
are changed
Yes all places. This is because in latest trunk patch we have not renamed the
method but changed the signature (as we discussed for the deprecation). So it
is not touching many files where the change was only method name change.
> Modify cell tag handling code to treat the length as unsigned

> 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.
