------------------------------------------------
bq.Which blockKeys are written with RawBytesComparator?
Meta block keys. They are just raw bytes. Hence we use RAW_COMPARATOR while
reading back.
> Make the HFileBlockIndex blockKeys to Cells so that it could be easy to use
> in the CellComparators

> After HBASE-10800 we could ensure that all the blockKeys in the BlockReader
> are converted to Cells (KeyOnlyKeyValue) so that we could use
> CellComparators. Note that this can be done only for the keys that are
> written using CellComparators and not for the ones using RawBytesComparator.
