Use sorted nature of compact indexes
------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2535
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2535
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kevin Wilfong
            Assignee: Kevin Wilfong


Compact indexes are sorted based on the indexed columns, but we are not using 
this fact when we access the index.

To start with, if the index is stored as an RC file, and if the predicate being 
used to access the index consists of only one non-partition condition using one 
of the operators >,>=,<,<=,= we could use a binary search (if necessary) to 
find the block to begin scanning for unfiltered rows, and we could use the 
result of comparing the value in the column with the constant (this is 
necessarily the form of a predicate which is optimized using an index) to 
determine when we have found all the rows which will be unfiltered.
