ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-18232:
------------------------------------------------
bq.Variable size chunks only support immutable chunks, meaning they are
allocated at the background as part of flattening, merging or compaction and
not as part of the user write request. Thus their expensive allocation is less
painful.
So in coming user request will copy to an ondemand ByteBuffer and when the
actual flattening happens (say to CellChunkMap) then there we create a new
variable size Chunk and copy the content from the ondemand ByteBuffer created
during writes to this new variable chunk(again an ondemand Bytebuffer but with
associated with a chunkId)?
So the similar thing should be done with increment/append cells also?
