Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-16363:
----------------------------------------
Seems like teh javadoc is a copy paste. What the API return is correct type.
May be we need to fix javadoc. Though the type is int, the Q length can not be
Int.max any way.
> Length of column qualifier in Cell is a short or int
