ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-5950:
-----------------------------------------------
Infact for comparing the negative and positive numbers we need a similar
comparator.
Otherwise Binary Comparator will represent -6 to be greater than -5.
> Add a decimal comparator for Filter

> Key: HBASE-5950
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5950
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Filters
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0, 0.96.0
> Reporter: Jieshan Bean
> Assignee: Jieshan Bean

> Suppose we have a requirement like below:
> we want to get the rows with one specified column value larger than A and
> less than B.
> (They are all decimals or integers)
> namely:
> A < Integer.valueof(column) < B
> Use BinaryComparator will not help us to archive that goal:
> e.g. suppose A = 100, B = 200, one column value is 110000.
> So it can satisfy that condition, but it's not the row we wanted.
>
> So I suggest to add one comparator to help implementing this.
