Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-16205:
----------------------------------------

Yes when the Cell's length is big then MSLAB copy won't happen.
{code}
static final String MAX_ALLOC_KEY = 
"hbase.hregion.memstore.mslab.max.allocation";
  static final int MAX_ALLOC_DEFAULT = 256 * 1024; // allocs bigger than this 
don't go through
                                                   // allocator
{code}


> When Cells are not copied to MSLAB, deep clone it while adding to Memstore

> This is imp after HBASE-15180 optimization. After that we the cells flowing 
> in write path will be backed by the same byte[] where the RPC read the 
> request into. By default we have MSLAB On and so we have a copy operation 
> while adding Cells to memstore.  This copy might not be there if
> 1. MSLAB is turned OFF
> 2. Cell size is more than a configurable max size. This defaults to 256 KB
> 3. If the operation is Append/Increment. 
> In such cases, we should just clone the Cell into a new byte[] and then add 
> to memstore.  Or else we keep referring to the bigger byte[] chunk for longer 
> time.
