Owen O'Malley resolved HADOOP-4143.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I don't think the gain is worth the additional interface. I would propose
adding a BinaryComparable interface that has:
{code}
interface BinaryComparable {
int getLength();
byte[] getBytes();
}
{code}
and both Text and BytesWritable should implement it.
> Support for a "raw" Partitioner that partitions based on the serialized key
> and not record objects

> For some partitioners (particularly those using comparators to classify
> keys), it would be helpful if one could specify a "raw" partitioner that
> would receive the serialized version of the key rather than the object
> emitted from the map.
