Method Detail

compareRows

public int compareRows(byte[] left,
              int loffset,
              int llength,
              byte[] right,
              int roffset,
              int rlength)

Compare key portion of a KeyValue for keys in hbase:meta table.

Overrides:

compareRows in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller

getShortMidpointKey

public byte[] getShortMidpointKey(byte[] leftKey,
                         byte[] rightKey)

Don't do any fancy Block Index splitting tricks.

Overrides:

getShortMidpointKey in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller

getLegacyKeyComparatorName

public String getLegacyKeyComparatorName()

The HFileV2 file format's trailer contains this class name. We reinterpret this and instantiate the appropriate comparator. TODO: With V3 consider removing this.

Overrides:

getLegacyKeyComparatorName in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

legacy class name for FileFileTrailer#comparatorClassName

clone

protected Object clone()
                throws CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides:

clone in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException

compareRowKey

protected int compareRowKey(Cell l,
                Cell r)

Override the row key comparison to parse and compare the meta row key parts.

Overrides:

compareRowKey in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller
