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

Hi [~anoop.hbase], sorry for not responding to this JIRA for a long time.
I uploaded a patch to add some comments to the Cell interface, to explain why getTagsLength() returns an int, which I hope could be of a little help to the new comers. Could you please take a look, there is not code change in the patch.

> In the Cell interface, getTagsLength() returns a int
> But in the KeyValue implementation, tags length is of 2 bytes. Also in ExtendedCell, when explaining the KeyValue format, tags length is stated to be 2 bytes
> Any plan to update Cell interface to make getTagsLength() returns a short ?
