Sahil Aggarwal commented on HBASE-18612:
----------------------------------------
[~mdrob] On cursory look I see that at some places we use comparators where we
compare multiple things, do we intend to convert them to different comparators
and chain them instead of having one fat comparator? For eg:
In TableDescriptor.getComparator, we compare tableName, then we compare
columnFamilies.
in RegionInfo.COMPARATOR, we compare TableName, startkey, endkey, regionId,
replicaId.
Do we intend to chain each compare in all the fat compare methods?
> Update comparators to be more declarative

> We can write less code if we use factory methods present on Comparator to
> build the chains. Also has the advantage of being easier to update in the
> future and hopefully easier for incoming folks to understand.
