stack commented on HBASE-15879:
-------------------------------
Key Interface can't be contingent on row/cf/q/ts all being contiguous. It will
be too hard to reason about (IMO)
> Introduce Key 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.
