Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-7692:
-------------------------------------
I can put the whole mess onto review board, but I think it's pretty easy to
digest in the bite-sized
[https://github.com/ndimiduk/hbase/commits/7692-ordered-serialization|commits
on github}. Can it not be reviewed there?
Whichever is easier for reviewers, I'd prefer to keep the comments in one place.

> 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.
