----------------------------------
Any suggestions on a name for this? The best I've come up with so far is
"AvroDeserializingKeyComparator"
> Add support for grouping comparators without an implementation of the
> RawComparator interface

> Key: AVRO-1219

> Summary:
> If you want to use a grouping comparator with the "new" mapreduce API and
> Avro, you must provide an implementation of RawComparator compare(byte[] b1,
> int s1, int l1, byte[] b2, int s2, int l2).
> In standard mapreduce, you don't have to do this. Hadoop does it for you
> behind the scenes by deserializing the writables and calling compare(x,y)
> instead.
> We should provide a subclass of AvroKeyComparator which does the
> deserialization and delegates to compare(x,y) to be consistent with Hadoop
> mapreduce.
