ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-12282: ------------------------------------------------ Yes. It is just a hacky way as I said. We have to ensure in the read path when we create a KV (Cell ) that has to be buffer backed only. > Ensure Cells and its implementations work with Buffers also > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12282 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12282 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: regionserver, Scanners > Affects Versions: 0.99.1 > Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 2.0.0, 0.99.2 > > Attachments: HBASE-12224_2.patch > > > This issue can be used to brainstorm and then do the necessary changes for > the offheap work. All impl of cells deal with byte[] but when we change the > Hfileblocks/Readers to work purely with Buffers then the byte[] usage would > mean that always the data is copied to the onheap. Cell may need some > interface change to implement this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
