----------------------------------

             Summary: BytesToBytesMap should encode data the same way as 
UnsafeExternalSorter
                 Key: SPARK-9517
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9517
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Reynold Xin
            Assignee: Reynold Xin


BytesToBytesMap current encodes key/value data in the following format:

{code}
8B key length, key data, 8B value length, value data
{code}

UnsafeExternalSorter, on the other hand, encodes data this way:

{code}
4B record length, data
{code}

As a result, we cannot pass records encoded by BytesToBytesMap directly into 
UnsafeExternalSorter for sorting. However, if we rearrange data slightly, we 
can then pass the key/value records directly into UnsafeExternalSorter:

{code}
4B key+value length, 4B key length, key data, value data
{code}
