Used when a cell needs to be compared with a key byte[] such as cases of finding the index from the index block, bloom keys from the bloom blocks This byte[] is expected to be serialized in the KeyValue serialization format If the KeyValue (Cell's) serialization format changes this method cannot be used.

Parameters:

comparator - the cell comparator

left - the cell to be compared

key - the serialized key part of a KeyValue

offset - the offset in the key byte[]

length - the length of the key byte[]

Returns:

an int greater than 0 if left is greater than right lesser than 0 if left is lesser than right equal to 0 if left is equal to right

createNextOnRowCol
```
public static Cell createNextOnRowCol(Cell cell)
```
Returns:

estimatedSerializedSizeOf
```
public static int estimatedSerializedSizeOf(Cell cell)
```
Estimate based on keyvalue's serialization format in the RPC layer. Note that there is an extra SIZEOF_INT added to the size here that indicates the actual length of the cell for cases where cell's are serialized in a contiguous format (For eg in RPCs).

Parameters:

cell -

Returns:

Estimate of the cell size in bytes plus an extra SIZEOF_INT indicating the actual cell length.

estimatedSerializedSizeOfKey
```
public static int estimatedSerializedSizeOfKey(Cell cell)
```
Calculates the serialized key size. We always serialize in the KeyValue's serialization format.

Parameters:

cell - the cell for which the key size has to be calculated.

Returns:

the key size

estimatedSizeOfCell
```
public static long estimatedSizeOfCell(Cell cell)
```
This is an estimate of the heap space occupied by a cell. When the cell is of type HeapSize we call HeapSize.heapSize() so cell can give a correct value. In other cases we just consider the bytes occupied by the cell components ie. row, CF, qualifier, timestamp, type, value and tags. Note that this can be the JVM heap space (on-heap) or the OS heap (off-heap)

Parameters:

cell -

Returns:

estimate of the heap space

getCellKeySerializedAsKeyValueKey
```
public static byte[] getCellKeySerializedAsKeyValueKey(Cell cell)
```
This method exists just to encapsulate how we serialize keys. To be replaced by a factory that we query to figure what the Cell implementation is and then, what serialization engine to use and further, how to serialize the key for inclusion in hfile index. TODO.

Parameters:

cell -

Returns:

The key portion of the Cell serialized in the old-school KeyValue way or null if passed a null cell
