Chia-Ping Tsai commented on HBASE-18361:
----------------------------------------

bq. Which of these three options is most preferable?
If Amit needs the "equal" rather than "compare", we just add the "equal" 
function into CellUtil.

> 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.
