Allow to specify a user supplied row key comparator for a table
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-661
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-661
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: client, master, regionserver
Affects Versions: 0.2.0
Reporter: Clint Morgan
Now that row keys are byte arrays, users should be able to specify a comparator
at table creation time.
My use case for this is to implement secondary indexes. In this case, row keys
for the index tables will be constructed from an optional prefix of the
original row key as well as the content of column that is being indexed. Then
the comparator will first compare based on the key prefix, and break ties by
deserializing the column values and using the deserialized type's compareTo
method.
