Liang Xie commented on HBASE-8063:
----------------------------------
[~zjushch], the StoreFile#Reader#getComparator() probably is a KeyComparator
instance(Please correct me if wrong), and in this function, we just want to
compare the raw byte array, so it should be fine with Bytes.compareTo
> Filter HFiles based on first/last key

> # hbase-5010 introduced a filter mechanism based on timerange hint
> # this jira is a placeholder just for keyrange hint: currently, low
> layer(hfile reader) has first/last key getter methods already. we should
> utilize this information to pre-filte hfiles while choosing scanners from
> storefiles.
> It's just a raw thought right now, no patch available yet. I'll summit a
> patch asap if it's reasonable, welcome to give some suggestions/comments:)
