postScannerFilterRow impacts Scan performance a lot in HBase 2.x

    Description

      In our test we observed Scan performance is degraded by more than 60% in HBase-2.x as compared to 1.3.x.  As per the flamegraph report, RS spent 31% of the time in postScannerFilterRow, however the coprocessors (AccessController, VisibilityController & ConstraintProcessor) does nothing in that hook.

      HBASE-14489 added the logic to avoid the call to postScannerFilterRow when not needed which is not working as expected in HBase 2.x. AccessController, VisibilityController & ConstraintProcessor override the postScannerFilterRow with dummy (same as RegionObserver) implementation, so RegionCoprocessorHost.hasCustomPostScannerFilterRow will be TRUE and call the hook for all configured CPs while processing each row . Suppose we have configured 5 region CPs and there are 1 M rows in table, then there will be 1 * 5 M dummy call to postScannerFilterRow during whole table scan.
      We need to remove postScannerFilterRow hook from these CPs as these are not doing anything.

      Another problem is in RegionCoprocessorHost.hasCustomPostScannerFilterRow init logic, currently it is always TRUE even though we remove postScannerFilterRow hook from AccessController, VisibilityController & ConstraintProcessor, because we are finding postScannerFilterRow until it is found (we look in configured CP's super class also) or clazz is NULL.

      Supper class of Object (super class of AccessController) will be NULL, so RegionCoprocessorHost.hasCustomPostScannerFilterRow will be set as TRUE
