Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-13387:
----------------------------------------
bq. Agree that we will have two code paths with hasArray. [...] May be am not
getting your point here. Sorry about that.
My point is simple: Don't do "hasArray".
As for how, well I'm not the one working on this (smile), but I certainly can
see the effects of these changes on code paths and it's not looking good
pushing knowledge of if on-heap or if off-heap to every caller of Cell
interfaces.

> This came in btw the discussion abt the parent Jira and recently Stack added
> as a comment on the E2E patch on the parent Jira.
> The idea is to add a new Interface 'ServerCell' in which we can add new
> buffer based getter APIs, hasArray API etc. We will keep this interface
> @InterfaceAudience.Private
> Also we have to change the timestamp and seqId on Cells in server side. We
> have added new interfaces SettableSequenceId, SettableTimestamp for this. Now
> if we can add a ServerCell we can add the setter APIs there.
