------------------------------------------------

Can we have the existing way of comparison during gets and for scans take the new code.  We could try creating an interface that gets instantiated based on get/scan.

> As part of HBASE-10801, we  tried to reduce the copy of the value [] in forming the KV from the DBEs. 
> The keys required copying and this was restricting us in using Cells and always wanted to copy to be done.
> The idea here is to replace the key byte[] as ByteBuffer and create a consecutive stream of the keys (currently the same byte[] is used and hence the copy).  Use offset and length to track this key bytebuffer.
> The copy of the encoded format to normal Key format is definitely needed and can't be avoided but we could always avoid the deep copy of the bytes to form a KV and thus use cells effectively. Working on a patch, will post it soon.
