Hello Lars,

Thank you. Where can I find the lily library? I can't find it on github or
Google.

As I said, look at the lily library they have solved exactly that problem,
I've used that before.

It has encodings for Ints/Longs/Floats/Doubles/BigDecimals, to encode them
such the byte array will sort according to the magnitude of the value which
includes the sign and the floating point exponent.

It's a very common problem :)

Subject: Re: Using doubles and longs as ordering row values

Hello,

I am having a similar issue, only I need to preserve the order of
qualifiers which are serialized signed longs - rather than row keys. The
latter is addressed by the orderly library which was mentioned above. Can
this library be re-used for my purpose? I imagine this is not an exotic
requirement so I am also interested in knowing how other people have solved
this problem.

Thank you,

/David

Subject: Using doubles and longs as ordering row values

Hi,

In my application my row values are doubles. I would like my scans
to
traverse the rows in order of increasing values.

But if I simply use

double d  = ....
byte[] row = Bytes.toBytes(d);

I will get an ordering which is based on the byte values of doubles,
not
on
the value of the doubles themselves.

I see also that integer values have the same issue due to the first
bit
being the sign bit. So negative values will come after positive
values.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jon
