ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-14978:
------------------------------------------------

bqThe check is still on getRowArray() 
I see. I missed that. 
bq.In fact with off heap Cell, which are delivered from L2 off heap cache, we 
wont get any OOME issue whatever be the #blocks one request touches. We avoid 
copying of block data from L2 off heap space to temp byte[]. So these Cells 
refer to the L2 cache space only.
Yes. I too think so.. See my above comment 'For the offheap case may be this 
will not happen- '.

> Don't allow Multi to retain too many blocks

> Scans and Multi's have limits on the total size of cells that can be 
> returned. However if those requests are not all pointing at the same blocks 
> then the KeyValues can keep alive a lot more data than their size.
> Take the following example:
> A multi with a list of 10000 gets to a fat row. Each column being returned in 
> in a different block. Each column is small 32 bytes or so.
> So the total cell size will be 32 * 10000 = ~320kb. However if each block is 
> 128k then total retained heap size will be almost 2gigs.
