Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-11425:
----------------------------------------
bq.We discussed on that ServerCell concepts. But I would argue not do that
because then the user would have two types of Cells - one on the write path and
the other cell on the read path. I would say that would make things more
complex and not much ease of use too.
No here what I mean is the Cell interface wont change and at client side, the
user will still interact with Cell. ServerCell is an extension for Cell which
is only at server side. Both in read and write paths. Only thing is that the CP
and Filter will get a new type then. ServerCell instead of Cell.

> Key: HBASE-11425
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11425
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Umbrella
> Components: regionserver, Scanners
> Affects Versions: 0.99.0
> Reporter: Anoop Sam John
> Assignee: Anoop Sam John
> Attachments: Offheap reads in HBase using BBs_final.pdf
>
>
> Umbrella jira to make sure we can have blocks cached in offheap backed cache.
> In the entire read path, we can refer to this offheap buffer and avoid onheap
> copying.
> The high level items I can identify as of now are
> 1. Avoid the array() call on BB in read path.. (This is there in many
> classes. We can handle class by class)
> 2. Support Buffer based getter APIs in cell. In read path we will create a
> new Cell with backed by BB. Will need in CellComparator, Filter (like SCVF),
> CPs etc.
> 3. Avoid KeyValue.ensureKeyValue() calls in read path - This make byte copy.
> 4. Remove all CP hooks (which are already deprecated) which deal with KVs.
> (In read path)
> Will add subtasks under this.
