>From HRegionServer#mutate(), you can find:
CompareOp compareOp =
CompareOp.valueOf(condition.getCompareType().name());
ByteArrayComparable comparator =
ProtobufUtil.toComparator(condition.getComparator());
...
boolean result = region.checkAndMutate(row, family,
qualifier, compareOp, comparator, put, true);
WritableByteArrayComparator is no longer used.
