Description

In HFileReaderV2.AbstractScannerV2.reseekTo(...) we have this:

        ByteBuffer bb = getKey();
        compared = reader.getComparator().compare(key, offset,
            length, bb.array(), bb.arrayOffset(), bb.limit());

getKey() creates two ByteBuffers in ScannerV2 and makes a deep copy of the key in EncodedScannerV2.
