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

             Summary: Shade protobuf
                 Key: HBASE-15638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15638
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Protobufs
            Reporter: stack


Shade protobufs so we can move to a different version without breaking the world. We want to get up on pb3 because it has unsafe methods that allow us save on copies; it also has some means of dealing with BBs so we can pass it offheap DBBs. We'll probably want to change PB3 to open it up some more too so we can stay offheap as we traverse PB. This issue comes of [~anoop.hbase] and [~ram_krish]'s offheaping of the readpath work.

This change is mostly straight-forward but there are some tricky bits:

 # How to interface with HDFS? It wants its ByteStrings. Here in particular in FanOutOneBlockAsyncDFSOutputSaslHelper:

{code}
      if (payload != null) {
        builder.setPayload(ByteString.copyFrom(payload));
      }
{code}

 # [~busbey] also points out that we need to take care of endpoints done as pb. Test at least.

Let me raise this one on the dev list too.
