Sergey Shelukhin commented on HBASE-8702:
-----------------------------------------
Wrt custom KVs - this is only WAL though, right? What about HFile-s?
As for the constant, usually its put in the main class, HConstants is too
bloated. Main class in this case is probably WALCellCodec itself.
> Make WALEditCodec pluggable

> WALEditCode needs to be pluggable to support alternative serialziation
> mechanisms.
> The open question here is whether to support the alternative codec when doing
> replication - both clusters would need the codec on the classpath, which has
> additional overhead and also will be a little bit complicated when making the
> WAL serialization backwards compatible in 0.94.
> This is the follow-up to HBASE-8636.
