Xiang Li commented on HBASE-14882:
----------------------------------
[~jerryhe], [~anoop.hbase]
I think there are 3 items to implement for this JIRA:
(1) A new implementation of Cell that basically takes and keep all the input
byte arrays. I plan to call it CellWithoutLocalCopy and put it into the package
of org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client. The new implementation basically serves Put.
But it would be good to have if it can be used by Delete, Increment and Get as
well when we might try to implement the same enhancement(do not copy when
addColumn()) for those 3 operations in the future.
(2) Add APIs into class Mutation called CreatePutCellWithoutLocalCopy()
(maybe), to construct CellWithoutLocalCopy. Just like createPutKeyValue() to
construct KeyValue.
(3) Modify existing AddImmutable() in class Put to call
CreatePutCellWithoutLocalCopy.
I might need to open sub-tasks for (1) and (2) respectively.
That is my basic idea. Make any sense to you?

> In the Put API, we have addImmutable()
> {code}
> /**
> * See {@link #addColumn(byte[], byte[], byte[])}. This version expects
> * that the underlying arrays won't change. It's intended
> * for usage internal HBase to and for advanced client applications.

> public Put addImmutable(byte [] family, byte [] qualifier, byte [] value)
> {code}
> But in the implementation the row, family. qualifier and value are still
> being copied locally to create kv.
> Hopefully we should provide an API that truely uses immutable family,
> qualifier and value.
