Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-12282:
----------------------------------------
Even the KeyOnlyKeyValue also. Let it be a BB backed one. It will be better we
have this BufferBackedCell only in read path. The Compartors no need to worry
one type is buffer backed and other array backed. Let both be Buffer backed.
Even we can have new Comparators to avoid checks in all method.
> Ensure Cells and its implementations work with Buffers also

> This issue can be used to brainstorm and then do the necessary changes for
> the offheap work. All impl of cells deal with byte[] but when we change the
> Hfileblocks/Readers to work purely with Buffers then the byte[] usage would
> mean that always the data is copied to the onheap. Cell may need some
> interface change to implement this.
