stack commented on HBASE-14255:
-------------------------------
CellBuilder sounds good, no? It seems like the first thing a user would go
looking for when they can't find a Constructor on Cell. I'd think a version
that took a value important to have. I'm not working on this. Its critical
though. We should make it easy create Cells.

> Key: HBASE-14255
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14255
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Lars George
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: beginner
> Fix For: 2.0.0-alpha-3
>
>
> After the switch to the new Cell based client API, and making KeyValue
> private (but especially as soon as DBB backed Cells land) it is rather
> difficult to create a {{Cell}} instance. I am using this now:
> {code}
> @Override
> public void postGetOp(ObserverContext<RegionCoprocessorEnvironment> e,
> Get get, List<Cell> results) throws IOException {
> Put put = new Put(get.getRow());
> put.addColumn(get.getRow(), FIXED_COLUMN, Bytes.toBytes(counter.get()));
> CellScanner scanner = put.cellScanner();
> scanner.advance();
> Cell cell = scanner.current();
> LOG.debug("Adding fake cell: " + cell);
> results.add(cell);
> }
> {code}
> That is, I have to create a {{Put}} instance to add a cell and then retrieve
> its instance. The {{KeyValue}} methods are private now and should not be
> used. Create a CellBuilder helper?
