<div class="block">The unit of storage in HBase consisting of the following fields: <br>
<pre>
1) row
2) column family
3) column qualifier
4) timestamp
5) type
6) MVCC version
7) value
</pre>
<p>
Uniqueness is determined by the combination of row, column family, column qualifier, timestamp,
and type.
</p>
<p>
The natural comparator will perform a bitwise comparison on row, column family, and column
qualifier. Less intuitively, it will then treat the greater timestamp as the lesser value with
the goal of sorting newer cells first.
</p>
<p>
Cell implements Comparable&lt;Cell&gt; which is only meaningful when comparing to other keys in
the same table. It uses CellComparator which does not work on the -ROOT- and hbase:meta tables.
</p>
<p>
In the future, we may consider adding a boolean isOnHeap() method and a getValueBuffer() method
that can be used to pass a value directly from an off-heap ByteBuffer to the network without
copying into an on-heap byte[].
</p>
<p>
Historic note: the original Cell implementation (KeyValue) requires that all fields be encoded as
consecutive bytes in the same byte[], whereas this interface allows fields to reside in separate
byte[]'s.
