Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1053:
--------------------------------------

> RecordComparator.compare is defined. It calls Utils.compareBytes. 

Yes, but is that implementation ever used?  A custom implementation is defined 
with every generated class, so it looks to me like the implementation on the 
base class is never called.  Thus it would be better if that method were 
abstract, no?  Or have I missed something?

> Make Record I/O functionally modular from the rest of Hadoop

> This issue has been created to separate one proposal originally included in 
> HADOOP-941, for which no consensus could be reached. For earlier discussion 
> about the issue, please see HADOOP-941.
> I will summarize the proposal here.  We need to provide a way for some users 
> who want to use record I/O framework outside of Hadoop.
