Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-15180:
----------------------------------------

Ya to make sure the client uses only which it supposed to, we can rename method 
at least.  Any better name suggestion boss [[email protected]]?
The best way would have been that, the codec instance know where am I.  Whether 
it is in client context or server.  We need to set it while constructing Codec 
instance.   But ya at least a method name change we can do now.
I will fix ur suggestion abt explicit javadoc statement on commit.  Thanks for 
the review.
Once Stack also good abt the patch, will commit.

> 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.
