[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-10974) Improve DBEs read performance by avoiding byte array deep copies for key[] and value[]

["Anoop Sam John (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14516343#comment-14516343 ] 

Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-10974:
----------------------------------------

bq.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.
That means the key buffer will grow always right? I think some sort of copy and reconstruction is needed in the key part and we can not avoid that.

> 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.
