stack resolved HBASE-661. ------------------------- Resolution: Invalid We'll never support this. Closing as invalid. > Allow to specify a user supplied row key comparator for a table > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-661 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-661 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client, master, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.2.0 > Reporter: Clint Morgan > Assignee: Clint Morgan > > Now that row keys are byte arrays, users should be able to specify a > comparator at table creation time. > My use case for this is to implement secondary indexes. In this case, row > keys for the index tables will be constructed from an optional prefix of the > original row key as well as the content of column that is being indexed. Then > the comparator will first compare based on the key prefix, and break ties by > deserializing the column values and using the deserialized type's compareTo > method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
