------------------------------------------------
Renaming the interface is better +1 on that.
G1GC and MSLAB is interesting to see.
We need a handoff from the incoming request handlers to the Server. Going
based on MSLAB on or off makes sense but if it is 'off' then creating a BB
pool on the Rpcserver request processing side may have to see for issues still
the BBs are flushed to a hfile?

> In KeyValueDecoder#parseCell (Default Codec decoder) we use
> KeyValueUtil#iscreate to read cells from the InputStream. Here we 1st create
> a byte[] of length 4 and read the cell length and then an array of Cell's
> length and read in cell bytes into it and create a KV.
> Actually in server we read the reqs into a byte[] and CellScanner is created
> on top of a ByteArrayInputStream on top of this. By default in write path, we
> have MSLAB usage ON. So while adding Cells to memstore, we will copy the Cell
> bytes to MSLAB memory chunks (default 2 MB size) and recreate Cells over that
> bytes. So there is no issue if we create Cells over the RPC read byte[]
> directly here in Decoder. No need for 2 byte[] creation and copy for every
> Cell in request.
> My plan is to make a Cell aware ByteArrayInputStream which can read Cells
> directly from it.
> Same Codec path is used in client side also. There better we can avoid this
> direct Cell create and continue to do the copy to smaller byte[]s path. Plan
> to introduce some thing like a CodecContext associated with every Codec
> instance which can say the server/client context.
