Hi,
As per my knowledege is concerned
MapWritable doesn't implement Comparable, so I think it cannot be used as a
key. If u want that functionality, then u have to have a subclass that
implements Comparable and there u will define your key comparison logic.or
the other option would be to use SortedMapWritable as key.
Thanks& Regards
