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

I think you want [CellUtil|http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/CellUtil.html].

>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Client
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0

>            Priority: Critical

> After the switch to the new Cell based client API, and making KeyValue private (but especially as soon as DBB backed Cells land) it is rather difficult to create a {{Cell}} instance. I am using this now:
> {code}
>  @Override
>   public void postGetOp(ObserverContext<RegionCoprocessorEnvironment> e,
>     Get get, List<Cell> results) throws IOException {
>     Put put = new Put(get.getRow());
>     put.addColumn(get.getRow(), FIXED_COLUMN, Bytes.toBytes(counter.get()));
>     CellScanner scanner = put.cellScanner();
>     scanner.advance();
>     Cell cell = scanner.current();
>     LOG.debug("Adding fake cell: " + cell);
>     results.add(cell);
>   }
> {code}
> That is, I have to create a {{Put}} instance to add a cell and then retrieve its instance. The {{KeyValue}} methods are private now and should not be used. Create a CellBuilder helper?
