Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-15180:
---------------------------------------
The patch looks much cleaner than v4 I think.
Let's add a javadoc to this saying that the ownership / lifecycle of the passed
BB is transferred to the Decoder and Cells returned from the decoder, so that
the contract is explicit:
{code}
+ Decoder getDecoder(ByteBuffer buf);
{code}
Again, the contract for the {{IPCUtil. createCellScanner()}} used by client
side vs server side should be explicit. How do we even know that one is used
only by the client or server? We can declare it in the method name explicitly,
like {{createCellScannerReusingBuffers()}} (sorry for the horrible name).
Otherwise looks good. [[email protected]] give it a quick glance?

> 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.
