ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-13450:
------------------------------------------------
This tweak in the API we can also revisit after HBASE-10800. I actually wanted
to deprecate the Bytes#binarySearch() after HBASE-10800 or along with that so
that we know how we are going to use it.
> Purge RawBytescomparator from the writers and readers after HBASE-10800

> Currently KeyValue.RAW_COMPARATOR is written in the Trailer of the HFiles.
> Ideally this need not be persisted to the trailer of the Hfiles because only
> the ROW bloom and the meta index blocks uses this. Currently RAW_COMPARATOR
> is also of type KVComparator.
> HBASE-10800 would introduce CellComparator and would expect only cells to be
> compared. We cannot have RAW_COMPARATOR a type of CellComparator. Hence it
> is better to avoid writing the RAW_COMPARATOR to the FFT and whereever we
> need RAW_COMPARATOR we will directly use it as Bytes.BYTES_RAWCOMPARATOR.
