Istvan Toth updated HBASE-28597:
--------------------------------
Summary: Support native Cell format in REST server and client (was:
Support native Cell format for protobuf in REST server and client)
> Support native Cell format in REST server and client
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-28597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28597
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: REST
> Reporter: Istvan Toth
> Priority: Major
>
> REST currently uses its own (outdated) CellSetModel format for transferring
> cells.
> This is fine for XML and JSON, which are slow anyway and even slower handling
> byte arrays, and is expected to be used in cases where a simple client code
> which does not depend on the hbase java libraries is more important than raw
> performance.
> However, we perform the same marshalling and unmarshalling when we are using
> protobuf, which doesn't really add value, but eats up resources.
> We could add a new encoding for Results which uses the native cell format, by
> simply dumping the binary cell bytestreams into the REST response body.
> This should save a lot of resources on the server side, and would be either
> faster, or the same speed on the client.
> As an additional advantage, the resulting Cells would be of native HBase Cell
> type instead of the REST Cell type.
