             Summary: Institute a hard limit for individual cell size that cannot be overridden by clients
                 Key: HBASE-18043
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18043
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: IPC/RPC, regionserver
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
            Assignee: Andrew Purtell
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.4.0


For sake of service protection we should not give absolute trust to clients regarding resource limits that can impact stability, like cell size limits. We should add a server side configuration that sets a hard limit for individual cell size that cannot be overridden by the client. We can keep the client side check, because it's expensive to reject a RPC that has already come in.
