Review Comment:
   While this change is in sync with `Comparators.COMPARATORS`, I can 
understand it could be a breaking change if its used downstream.
   
   This PR could be a good place to break away from signed comparator as the 
default. The alternative would be to switch the default comparator, but it 
breaks consistency with `Comparators.COMPARATORS`. I think supporting legacy 
min/max values of previously written data files is probably a more important 
change/use-case than this one. I will let other folks chime-in.
