[HBASE-8496] Implement tags and the internals of how a tag should look like - ASF JIRA

Details

Hadoop Flags:

Incompatible change, Reviewed
Release Note:

Hide
Tags are additional metadata to be added with the KVs.
To enable the tags to be persisted in the HFiles, V3 version of HFile should be used.
<property>
      <name>hfile.format.version</name>
      <value>3</value>
  </property>
The tags has the below format
<2 byte tag length><1 byte type code><tag>
where <type> is the type of the tag, <tag> is a byte[] that has the tag data.
To add Tags using Puts
Put.add(byte[] family, byte [] qualifier, byte [] value, Tag[] tag)
Put.add(byte[] family, byte[] qualifier, long ts, byte[] value, Tag[] tag)
Can be used.
Note that even after changing the version to V3, the no-tag case will also be working fine as in V2 format.

The intent of this JIRA comes from ~~HBASE-7897~~.
This would help us to decide on the structure and format of how the tags should look like.
