Hi All, I have to use *Bytes.compareTo<http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/util/Bytes.html#compareTo%28byte[],%20byte[]%29> *(byte[] left, byte[] right) method in one of my coprocessor(HBASE-7474) stuff. Basically, i want to do comparison on the basis of Lexicographical order of byte[] of cell value. Similar to BinaryComparator in HBase.
Since, *Bytes.compareTo<http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/util/Bytes.html#compareTo%28byte[],%20byte[]%29> *(byte[] left, byte[] right) is static method and it doesnt have any synchronization. How do we guarantee that this method is thread safe? I am curious to know is it safe to use the static method on RegionServer(multithreaded environment)? Please correct me if i stated something wrong above. -- Thanks & Regards, Anil Gupta
