Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-8457:
--------------------------------------
One option, we discussed at HBASE-2231 was to add a KeyValue.Type specific for
this. But this is fundamentally different than adding the type to the wal edit
and not clear whether it will be better. Adding a type to waledit seems more
appealing.
> add support for custom entries to PB WAL

> Right now custom records are written by using fake KVs. With protobuf WAL,
> maybe we can use PB.
> I took a stab at it in HBASE-7413, but the changes will be large on top of
> that change, including probably merging HLogKey and WALEdit refactoring, to
> not add another entity for custom message. So I am going to preserve the
> fake-KV-based approach in HBASE-7413 and file this JIRA.
