             Summary: Server-side, remove convertion from pb type to client type before we call method
                 Key: HBASE-8471
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8471
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: IPC/RPC, regionserver
            Reporter: stack


In the regionserver, when the rpc receives a call, the call is described using protobufs.  Before we make the server-side invocation, we do a transform on the pb param objects to make a native pojo -- e.g. from a pb Puts into an hbase o.a.h.h.client.Put -- and only then do we make the call against the server.

On the way out, similar, before putting the result on the wire, we will do a convertion from o.a.h.h.client.Result into pb Result.

This issue is about our first INVESTIGATING if it is possible to do away w/ this marshalling/unmarshalling serverside especially given the pb objects themselves are rich in accessor and getters, etc.  If it is possible to do w/ pbs alone serverside, then we should go ahead and rip out all the serverside convertions.
