stack commented on HBASE-7692:
------------------------------
I've put comments over in rb. Highlevel:
+ This is well-thought through quality stuff. It is great.
+ Do we need all of it? Can we drop all the Writable stuff in particular
(HBase is moving away from Writables so we have no use for it). Do we need all
the permuations listed here? Would it even be better to take on a small part
of this set first?
+ The fixation on 'rowkey' is not apt given it won't always be used for rowkey.
+ Could it be included as a jar rather than as module? If not, module w/ no
dependencies would be better (would need to undo the hbase-common current
dependency)
Thanks Nick.

> 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.
