-------------------------------------
bq. Do you think there's any point in trying to push the support for offsets
upstream into Guava?
Doubtful. This is Google we're talking about here. Open source is a one way
street for them :)

> Guava has a nice implementation of lexicographical byte-array comparison that
> uses sun.misc.Unsafe to compare unsigned byte arrays long-at-a-time. Their
> benchmarks show it as being 2x more CPU-efficient than the equivalent
> pure-Java implementation. We can easily integrate this into
> WritableComparator.compareBytes to improve CPU performance in the shuffle.
