------------------------------------
sorry, did not see this issue. can you post a review board request?
(in future, it is better to send a review board request and cc the reviewer.
otherwise the reviewer may not notice the jira for some time)
> Provide a way by which ObjectInspectorUtils.compare can be extended by the
> caller for comparing maps which are part of the object

> Now ObjectInspectorUtils.compare throws an exception if a map is contained
> (recursively) within the objects being compared. Two obvious implementations
> are
> - a simple map comparer which assumes keys of the first map can be used to
> fetch values from the second
> - a 'cross-product' comparer which compares every pair of key-value pairs in
> the two maps, and calls a match if and only if all pairs are matched
> Note that it would be difficult to provide a transitive
> greater-than/less-than indication with maps so that is not in scope.
