Description

Over in HBASE-11591 there was a need to set the sequenceId of the HFile to the bulk loaded KVs. Since we are trying to use the concept of Cells in the read path if we need to use setSequenceId(), then the Cell has to be converted to KV and only KeyValue impl has the accessor setSequenceId().
anoop.hbase suggested if we can use a Server side impl of Cell and have these accessors in them.
This JIRA aims to solve this and see the related code changes that needs to be carried out for this.
