ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-12358:
------------------------------------------------
May be hasArray() would be the best option so that the exposed APIs are not
changed. So users using the CP and filters should use the hasArray() to
determine which one to use getXXxArray or getXXXBuffer.
> Create ByteBuffer backed Cell

> As part of HBASE-12224 and HBASE-12282 we wanted a Cell that is backed by BB.
> Changing the core Cell impl would not be needed as it is used in server
> only. So we will create a BB backed Cell and use it in the Server side read
> path. This JIRA just creates an interface that extends Cell and adds the
> needed API.
> The getTimeStamp and getTypebyte() can still refer to the original Cell API
> only. The getXXxOffset() and getXXXLength() can also refer to the original
> Cell only.
