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 > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1468 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1468 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Gianmarco De Francisci Morales > Assignee: Gianmarco De Francisci Morales > Attachments: PIG-1468.patch > > > The compareTo() method of org.apache.pig.data.DataByteArray does not compare > items in lexicographic order. > Actually, it takes into account the signum of the bytes that compose the > DataByteArray. > So, for example, 0xff compares to less than 0x00 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
