Nick Dimiduk updated HBASE-7692: -------------------------------- Attachment: HBASE-7692.v4.patch Patch v4 addresses issues raised in this [thread on hbase-dev|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-dev/201302.mbox/%3CCANZa=gsdzg-5pptq_vswjdwo+jn8hhusvq1wzgp9q86g4dp...@mail.gmail.com%3E]. Specifically, it moves the library out into its own module: hbase-orderly. It also shortens the package name to org.apache.hadoop.hbase.orderly. > Add utility class to generate ordered byte[] serialization > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7692 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Nick Dimiduk > Assignee: Nick Dimiduk > Attachments: HBASE-7692.v1.patch, HBASE-7692.v2.patch, > HBASE-7692.v3.patch, HBASE-7692.v4.patch > > > The current Bytes utility class works, but produces output that does not > maintain the native sort ordering of the input value. This results in, for > example, a negative value that does not necessarily sort before a positive > value. HBase should provide a canonical implementation of such a > serialization format so that third-parties can reliably build on top of > HBase. This will allow an implementation for HIVE-3634, HIVE-2599, or > HIVE-2903 that is compatible with similar features in Pig. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
