Folke Behrens updated CASSANDRA-1282: ------------------------------------- Attachment: trunk-1282-2.txt > NumericType: comparator for integers of fixed and arbitrary length > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-1282 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1282 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Folke Behrens > Assignee: Folke Behrens > Fix For: 0.7 > > Attachments: 0001-NumericType.patch.txt, trunk-1282-2.txt, > trunk-1282.txt > > > Patch introduces a new column comparator: NumericType. It can compare signed > integer values of fixed (int, long) and arbitrary length (BigInteger). Both > can be mixed. Leading zero bytes or 0xFF bytes will be ignored and can safely > be stripped on compaction. > The trivial version uses "new BigInteger(byte[]).compareTo(new > BigInteger(byte[]))" but it's slower and fills up memory. > The faster version operates completely on stack and should even obsolete > LongType. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
