> BytesRefArrayWritable compareTo violates contract

> BytesRefArrayWritable's compareTo violates the compareTo contract from
> java.lang.Object. Specifically:
> * The implementor must ensure sgn(x.compareTo( y )) == -sgn(y.compareTo( x ))
> for all x and y.
> The compareTo implementation on BytesRefArrayWritable does a proper
> comparison of the sizes of the two instances. However, if the sizes are the
> same, it proceeds to do a check if both array's have the same constant. If
> not, it returns 1. This means that if x and y are two BytesRefArrayWritable
> instances with the same size, but different contents, then x.compareTo( y )
> == 1 and y.compareTo( x ) == 1.
> Additionally, the comparison of contents is order agnostic. This seems wrong,
> since order of entries should matter. It is also very inefficient, running at
> O(n^2), where n is the number of entries.
