stack commented on HBASE-13387: ------------------------------- Should ByteBufferedCell be in hbase-server module? Can it be in the RegionServer package? (It doesn't look like it given we look for it in comparators. I suppose also BBCell doesn't have to have anything to do with Server when in common module. Someone else might want to use it for some other purpose? Patch LGTM but how about tests of the new methods added especially when backed by a BBCell? Nice work. > Add ByteBufferedCell an extension to Cell > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13387 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13387 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: regionserver, Scanners > Reporter: Anoop Sam John > Assignee: Anoop Sam John > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: ByteBufferedCell.docx, HBASE-13387_v1.patch, > WIP_HBASE-13387_V2.patch, WIP_ServerCell.patch, benchmark.zip > > > This came in btw the discussion abt the parent Jira and recently Stack added > as a comment on the E2E patch on the parent Jira. > The idea is to add a new Interface 'ByteBufferedCell' in which we can add > new buffer based getter APIs and getters for position in components in BB. > We will keep this interface @InterfaceAudience.Private. When the Cell is > backed by a DBB, we can create an Object implementing this new interface. > The Comparators has to be aware abt this new Cell extension and has to use > the BB based APIs rather than getXXXArray(). Also give util APIs in CellUtil > to abstract the checks for new Cell type. (Like matchingXXX APIs, > getValueAs<type> APIs etc) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
