---------------------------------------
So here the utility will take some type information of the value right?
> Add utility class to generate ordered byte[] serialization

> The current Bytes utility class works, but produces output that does not
> maintain the native sort ordering of the input value. This results in, for
> example, a negative value that does not necessarily sort before a positive
> value. HBase should provide a canonical implementation of such a
> serialization format so that third-parties can reliably build on top of
> HBase. This will allow an implementation for HIVE-3634, HIVE-2599, or
> HIVE-2903 that is compatible with similar features in Pig.
