Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-1468:
-----------------------------------------------------
It is quite easy to fix DataType.compare() to keep into account the unsigned
logic.
But I am starting to feel that all of this is probably not worth the trouble.
This would make DataType.compare() for Bytes different from Byte.compareTo().
> DataByteArray.compareTo() does not compare in lexicographic order

> The compareTo() method of org.apache.pig.data.DataByteArray does not compare

> Actually, it takes into account the signum of the bytes that compose the

> So, for example, 0xff compares to less than 0x00
