Doug Meil updated HBASE-7221:
-----------------------------
Attachment: hbase-server_hbase_7221_v6.patch
Made RowKeyDataConverter an abstract class
Created RowKeyBytesDataConverter the default implementation (i.e., uses Bytes
utility)
Added Javadoc explanation of the implications of Bytes sort order in
RowKeyBytesDataConverter.
Added reference in RowKeySchema that RowKeyBytesDataConverter is the default
strategy.

> A common question in the dist-lists is how to construct rowkeys, particularly
> composite keys. Put/Get/Scan specifies byte[] as the rowkey, but it's up to
> you to sensibly populate that byte-array, and that's where things tend to go
> off the rails.
> The intent of this RowKey utility class isn't meant to add functionality into
> Put/Get/Scan, but rather make it simpler for folks to construct said arrays.
> Example:
> {code}
> RowKey key = RowKey.create(RowKey.SIZEOF_MD5_HASH + RowKey.SIZEOF_LONG);
> key.addHash(a);
> key.add(b);
> byte bytes[] = key.getBytes();
> {code}
