Summary: [REGRESSION] HBASE-12600 undoes skip-mvcc parse
optimizations
Key: HBASE-13389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13389
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Performance
Reporter: stack
HBASE-12600 moved the edit sequenceid from tags to instead exploit the
mvcc/sequenceid slot in a key. Now Cells near-always have an associated
mvcc/sequenceid where previous it was rare or the mvcc was kept up at the file
level. This is sort of how it should be many of us would argue but as a
side-effect of this change, read-time optimizations that helped speed scans
were undone by this change.
In this issue, lets see if we can get the optimizations back -- or just remove
the optimizations altogether.
The parse of mvcc/sequenceid is expensive. It was noticed over in HBASE-13291.
The optimizations undone by this changes are (to quote the optimizer himself,
Mr [~lhofhansl]):

Looks like this undoes all of HBASE-9751, HBASE-8151, and HBASE-8166.
We're always storing the mvcc readpoints, and we never compare them against the
actual smallestReadpoint, and hence we're always performing all the checks,
tests, and comparisons that these jiras removed in addition to actually storing
the data - which with up to 8 bytes per Cell is not trivial.

This is the 'breaking' change:
