Vikas Vishwakarma commented on HBASE-17877:
-------------------------------------------
[~anoop.hbase] will take a look into BBUtils also.
[~larsh] one quick doubt. The HBase byte array comparator gives only 3
possible output for any byte array input -1, 0, +1
With Guava and Hadoop comparator the output can be any -integer, 0 , +integer
for example , for this input
Arrays.fill( ba1_8, (byte) 43 );
Arrays.fill( ba2_8, (byte) 43 );
ba1_8[0] = (byte) 32;
ba2_8[0] = (byte) 43;
HBase comparator will give output as -1 while Guava & Hadoop comparator will
give output as -11
Mostly functions should check comparator output as > < or == , this should be a
fair assumption or do we need to do a thorough verification around this?
> Replace/improve HBase's byte[] comparator
