> HBASE-11870 tried to be tricky when only the tags of a {{Cell}} need to be altered in the write-pipeline by creating a {{TagRewriteCell}} which avoided copying all components of the original {{Cell}}. In an attempt to help free the tags on the old cell that we wouldn't be referencing anymore, {{TagRewriteCell}} nulls out the original {{byte[] tags}}.
> This causes a problem in that the implementation of {{heapSize()}} as it {{getTagsLength()}} on the original {{Cell}} instead of the on {{this}}. Because the tags on the passed in {{Cell}} (which was also a {{TagRewriteCell}}) were null'ed out in the constructor, this results in a NPE by the byte array is null.
> I believe this isn't observed in normal, unsecure deployments because there is only one RegionObserver/Coprocessor loaded that gets invoked via {{postMutationBeforeWAL}}. When there is only one RegionObserver, the TagRewriteCell isn't passed another TagRewriteCell, but instead a cell from the wire/protobuf. This means that the optimization isn't performed. When we have two (or more) observers that a TagRewriteCell passes through (and a new TagRewriteCell is created and the old TagRewriteCell's tags array is nulled), this enables the described-above NPE.
