Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-16438:
----------------------------------------
It might be better if this is a new Cell type with a new interface implemented.
This is needed in another place as well.
When we upsert cell into Memstore, we will remove the cells which is newly
added cells mask out. And as part of that we will adjust the memstore size
(region level as well as global). Here we just reduce the size of the removed
cell now. But we cannot do that blindly. When this removed cell is having its
data bytes in MSLAB, we are not really freeing up those MSLAB chunk bytes.
Means the cell data size part is still not reduced! We just got rid of one
Java object. So only that object's overhead part got reduced. Right now there
is no way to make this diff. When the cell can be removed, we can not know
whether it is having its data in MSLAB chunk or not. Once this jira is
solved, we can do that also.

> For CellChunkMap we may need a cell such that the chunk out of which it was
