Hey, In Hadoop, it's possible to override how two keys are compared with WritableComparable ( http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/io/WritableComparator.html), and the same thing is possible in Cassandra with CompareWith ( http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration).
Would it be possible to do something similar for the unit of sorting in HBase, the ColumnFamily? Thanks, Jeff
