------------------------------------------------
+1 on patch if test cases passes. This is a very important change.

> We have KeyValueCodec as the default RPC codec now. This can only encode
> KeyValue types and need to convert any non KV cell to KeyValue format. This
> is a expensive op.
> {code}
> // This is crass and will not work when KV changes. Also if passed a non-kv
> Cell, it will
> // make expensive copy.
> // Do not write tags over RPC
> KeyValue.oswrite((KeyValue) KeyValueUtil.ensureKeyValue(cell), this.out,
> false);
> {code}
> Now we want Cell to be in entire read path and don't want any copy until we
> write the cell to client.
> The optimization done in the DBE of avoiding copying of value bytes was also
> not getting real advantage bacause of this ensureKeyValue() call at the Codec.
> We can encode and write non KeyValue cells with KV serialization format and
> avoid the recreate.
