Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-18649: ---------------------------------------- For the write and/or serialized size, do we need ExtendedCell? Ya the ExtendedCell having direct APIs for doing these. But we have utils which take Cell and serialize also right? The format will be KV format. I think that is ok.. Because that is what we do when we serialize cells to HFiles. The Cell type can be any not really KV but when we write it will be in KV format. Same with the RPC also. Default we use KVCodec which uses the KV format. So I dont think we need ExtendedCell type to be passing around as MR args. That is not a public interface. > Deprecate KV Usage in MR to move to Cells in 3.0 > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-18649 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18649 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapreduce > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-2 > Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 2.0.0, 3.0.0, 2.1.0 > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
