Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-7887:
---------------------------------------
[~zjushch] While creating the rowkey itself, the interger part in that can be
changed so as to make the sorting order correct. Lily project is having code
for doing this.
> Support configuring KeyValue Comparator at table level
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-7887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7887
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: chunhui shen
> Assignee: chunhui shen
>
> Now, KeyValue Comparator is static by code in HRegionInfo
> {code}
> public KVComparator getComparator() {
> return isRootRegion()? KeyValue.ROOT_COMPARATOR: isMetaRegion()?
> KeyValue.META_COMPARATOR: KeyValue.COMPARATOR;
> }
> {code}
> In some user cases, we need a personalized KeyValue Comparator.
> e.g. Current ByteArrayComparator couldn't be used to sort number if exists
> negative number.(Because the bytes of -1 is bigger than the bytes of any
> other number)
> I think supporting per-table configuration of KeyValue Comparator would be
> useful.
> Welcome comments,
> I will make the patch tomorrow.
