stack commented on HBASE-62:
----------------------------
Patch looks great Andrew. Just a few comments.
+ Byte arrays as HashMap keys do object identity which is probably not what you
want. Use ImmutableBytesWritable as key or a TreeMap and provide the
Bytes.comparable if you want the keys to equate when their content is the same.
+ I like the way you do the getValue override whereby if you use a String key
to ask for a value, you get it back as a String.
+ The statement in getValue javadoc about encoding may not be true in all cases
-- e.g. user may not have set value as UTF-8?: ' * @return The value as a UTF-8
encoded byte array.'
Hey, so what migration needs to be done since HTD and HCD seem to be
self-migrating? You want to rewrite the .META. tables before startup? Can I
help out w/ migration?
