------------------------------------------------
Ya that is true. But with large memories coming up we will be able to do that?
And ensure it is always offheap, something like that? Anyway for that to be
done we need to have an info on the Hfileblock.

> As part of HBASE-10801, we tried to reduce the copy of the value [] in
> forming the KV from the DBEs.
> The keys required copying and this was restricting us in using Cells and
> always wanted to copy to be done.
> The idea here is to replace the key byte[] as ByteBuffer and create a
> consecutive stream of the keys (currently the same byte[] is used and hence
> the copy). Use offset and length to track this key bytebuffer.
> The copy of the encoded format to normal Key format is definitely needed and
> can't be avoided but we could always avoid the deep copy of the bytes to form
> a KV and thus use cells effectively. Working on a patch, will post it soon.
