Xiang Li commented on HBASE-16363:
----------------------------------
[~anoop.hbase]
I uploaded patch 000 for master, which includes 2 fixes:
(1) Remove a part of the following comments for qualifier, to avoid
mis-understanding.
bq. Contiguous raw bytes that may start at any index in the containing array.
-Max length Short.MAX_VALUE which is 32,767 bytes.-
It is hard to use a short sentence to explain the qualifier max length (as you
explained in the last comment), so I decide to remove that part
(2) For value length, Integer.MAX_VALUE is not 2,147,483,648 (=2^31), but
2^31-1. Just correct it
Do those make sense to you?

> In Cell interface
> (hbase-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/Cell.java)
> (1) We have the following comment for "qualifier"
> {code}
> /**

> Max length is
> * Short.MAX_VALUE which is 32,767 bytes.

> {code}
> But getQualifierLength() returns int
> {code}
> int getQualifierLength();
> {code}
> (2) We have the following comment for "value"
> {code}
> /**
> * Contiguous raw bytes that may start at any index in the containing
> array. Max length is
> * Integer.MAX_VALUE which is 2,147,483,648 bytes.

> {code}
> Integer.MAX_VALUE is not 2,147,483,648 (2^31), but 2,147,483,647 (2^31-1)
