----------------------------------------
Summary: Enable configuration based enable/disable of Unsafe
package usage
Key: HBASE-25251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25251
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sandeep Guggilam
Assignee: Sandeep Guggilam
We need a provide away for clients to disable Unsafe package usage . Currently
there is no way for clients to specify that they don't want to use Unsafe
conversion for Bytes conversion.
As a result there could be some issues with missing methods of Unsafe when
client is on JDK 11 . So the clients can disable Unsafe package use and use
normal conversion if they want to.
Also we use static references to Unsafe Availability in Bytes class assuming
that the Unsafe availability is set during class loading and no one can ever
override it later. Now that we plan to expose a util for clients to override
the availability if required, we need to avoid the static references for
computing the availability whenever we do the comparisions
