------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the interest over this JIRA and sorry for the delayed update on 
this. Missed  the ping over here.
The idea of this JIRA was to make Cells usage everywhere including the 
comparators.  I have now deferred this activity because if you see in 
KVcomparator and its usage through out the code it is using Cells to compare. 
So now changing KVComparator to CellComparator is only a name change in most of 
the places.  But still there are this Bloom filter and index usages that uses 
RawComparators which is not based on Cell. 

For the current work for offheap HBASE-11425 we have introduced new APIS that 
work on ByteBuffers and some new comparator APIs that work on BBs.  Once that 
is in place we could move all the Comparators to Cell based and then work on 
this JIRA actively.
Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
