ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-17353:
------------------------------------------------
We will have one more byte heap overhead for an offheap cell. We have now 47
bytes FIXED overhead for an offheap kv. Now if we cache famLen it will be 48
bytes. Not a big change but still when we have lot of small cells then we have
a price for heap overhead though the cell data is offheap.

> WE need to discuss here. Already we had a TODO here. But this comes again
> after offheap memstore is committed in trunk.
> Attaching a screenshot to show the impact. True that these changes won't have
> a direct impact on the final perf but at micro level they would have.
> In case of KeyValue it is just retrieving a byte from the byte[] (o(1)
> access).
> But here we need to access the memory to retrive that one byte though it is
> Unsafe based.
