Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-7692: ------------------------------------- @Ted yikes! My patch is on top of hbase/trunk@1449152 while Jenkins says "At revision 1449215". Git tells me I'm up to date re: origin. I guess there's some lag between SVN and the git mirror. I'll wait and try again later. > 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.
