Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7897:
---------------------------------------
bq. I could see an tagIterator() api added that iterates thro the tags, so is
it like every time iterate to find out which is my Visisbility tag.
If all tags are materialized into a contiguous buffer for iteration, then the
iterator will be fast. We may want to do this because the common case will be
zero or one tag per KV.
bq. Will there be a mechanism which says visibility tag should be the first tag
or second . something like that?
What happens if two different pieces of code say "my tag should go first"? The
Cell interface won't and cannot know application details to break such ties, it
would have to be done arbitrarily. Hence such a mechanism isn't workable?
