Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-18361:
----------------------------------------
There is Amit's patch.
Or we can add a new comparator that checks every part of the cell including
value.
Or we can add a new static helper method to CellUtil that compares everything.
Which of these three options is most preferable?
> CellComparator compare function should compare cell's value along with other
> attributes

> CellComparator.compare(Cell a, Cell b) should compare a and b's value as well.
> If we create two cells as
> byte [] row = Bytes.toBytes("row");
> byte [] value = Bytes.toBytes("value");
> byte [] value1 = Bytes.toBytes("value1");
> Cell c1 = CellUtil.createCell(row, value);
> Cell c2 = CellUtil.createCell(row, value1);
> And compare them using CellComparator.compare(c1, c2,true) , it returns 0 i.e
> it matches them while they are different.CellComparator compares each
> attribute of cell but value.
