Laurent Goujon commented on DRILL-5094:
---------------------------------------
The Long.compareTo() is slightly different as it's not doing any substraction:
```
public static int compare(long x, long y) {
return (x < y) ? -1 : ((x == y) ? 0 : 1);
}
```
> Assure Comparator to be transitive

> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chunhui Shi
> Assignee: Chunhui Shi
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: ready-to-commit
>
> In AssignmentCreator.java, one Comparator could break transitive attribute
> required for a Comparator implementation and the result is not correct.
> E.g. for:
> long IntPlusOne = 0x80000000L;
> [0]=2 * IntPlusOne + 5, [1] = 2* IntPlusOne + 8, [2] = 4 * IntPlusOne + 4,
> the compare results will be like:
> compare([0],[1]) = -3,
> compare([1],[2]) = 4,
> compare([0],[2]) = 1
