Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-8089:
-------------------------------------
bq. Hive includes a standard serialization library that produces serializations
that memcmp into the natural sort order, which it uses for MapReduce key
serialization.
I didn't know about this feature in Hive, I'll check it out. Thanks for the
reference, [~owen.omalley]. The memcmp feature is critical for our needs; this
is why most existing tools (ie, protobuf) don't work in this context. Do these
Hive formats support NULLs -- I'm curious how the trade-off for fixed-width
types was handled. How does it handle compound keys? It looks like I have more
homework to do :)

> This proposal outlines an improvement to HBase that provides for a set of
> types, above and beyond the existing "byte-bucket" strategy. This is intended
> to reduce user-level duplication of effort, provide better support for
> 3rd-party integration, and provide an overall improved experience for
> developers using HBase.
