ramkrishna.s.vasudevan updated HBASE-15879:
-------------------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-15879.patch
Named the Key interface as ContiguousKey. Is it a better name? REason was to
say explicitly that this interface represents formats where the key is really
contiguous rather than the need to form a key out of it. KeyValue, OffheapKV,
DBE cells (Onheap and OffheapCell) implement this new interface.

>
> Introduce an interface called Key and allow Cell implementations to implement
> this Key interface for cases like KeyValue, OffheapKeyValue and DBE cells
> (Except prefix tree) so that we can avoid copies when we deal with only Cells
> in case of block index creations (like ROOT, Bloom etc). Helps in reduction
> of garbage also.
