             Summary: Marker interface for Cells which may have backing 
ByteBuffers
                 Key: HBASE-28670
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28670
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Istvan Toth


We often need to treat cells that may have backing ByteBuffers.
The easy thing to would be checking if they are ByteBufferExtendedCell , but 
CellWrapper , OnHepDecodedCell and TagRewriteCell may also delegate to a 
ByteBufferExtendedCell.

Having a marker interface that indicates that a cell is guaranteed to be 
on-heap, or that it may not be fully on-heap would make it easier and faster 
check whether we need to clone them. (We only need one, it may be either 
negative or positive)
