Ted Yu commented on HBASE-6658:
-------------------------------
See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html
While Comparable defines compareTo() method which is not in Comparator
interface.
I suggest keeping Comparable in class names and only dropping Writable.
> Rename WritableByteArrayComparable to something not mentioning Writable
