/**
 * This class is a server side extension to the {@link Cell} interface. It is used when the
 * Cell is backed by a {@link ByteBuffer}: i.e. <code>cell instanceof ByteBufferedCell</code>.
 *
 * <p>This class has getters for the row, column family, column qualifier, value and tags hosting
 * ByteBuffers. It also has getters of the *position* within a ByteBuffer where these
 * field bytes begin. These are needed because a single ByteBuffer may back one or many Cell
 * instances -- it depends on the implementation -- so the ByteBuffer position as returned by
 * {@link ByteBuffer#arrayOffset()} cannot be relied upon. Also, do not confuse these position
 * methods with the getXXXOffset methods from the super Interface, {@link Cell}; dependent up on
 * implementation, the Cell getXXXOffset methods can return the same value as a call to its
 * equivalent position method from below BUT they can also stray; if a ByteBufferedCell, use the
 * below position methods to find where a field begins.
 *
 * <p>Use the getXXXLength methods from Cell to find a fields length.
 *
 * <p>A Cell object can be of this type only on the server side.
 *
 * <p>WARNING: If a Cell is backed by an offheap ByteBuffer, any call to getXXXArray() will result
 * in a temporary byte array creation and a bytes copy. Avoid these allocations by using the
 * appropriate Cell access server-side: i.e. ByteBufferedCell when backed by a ByteBuffer and Cell
 * when it is not.

/*
 * Even though all the methods are abstract, ByteBufferExtendedCell is not made to be an interface
 * with intent. In CellComparator compare method, we have instance of check to decide whether to
 * use getXXXArray() or getXXXByteBuffer(). This is a very hot method in read and write paths.
 * if (left instanceof ByteBufferExtendedCell && right instanceof ByteBufferExtendedCell) {
      ....
    }
    if (left instanceof ByteBufferExtendedCell) {
      ....
    }
    if (right instanceof ByteBufferExtendedCell) {
      ....
    }
    return Bytes.compareTo(left.getRowArray(), left.getRowOffset(), left.getRowLength(),
        right.getRowArray(), right.getRowOffset(), right.getRowLength());
 * We did JMH micro benchmark tests with both left and right cells as ByteBufferExtendedCell, one
 * only ByteBufferExtendedCell and both as Cells. This is compared against JMH results on compare
 * logic with out any instance of checks. We noticed that if ByteBufferExtendedCell is an
 * interface, the benchmark result seems to be very bad for case of both right and left are Cell
 * only (Not ByteBufferExtendedCell). When ByteBufferExtendedCell is an abstract class all 4
 * possible cases giving almost similar performance number compared with compare logic with no
 * instance of checks.
