Class KeyValue.KVComparator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.KVComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

KeyValue.SamePrefixComparator<byte[]>

Direct Known Subclasses:

KeyValue.MetaComparator, KeyValue.RawBytesComparator

Enclosing class:

KeyValue

public static class KeyValue.KVComparator
extends Object
implements KeyValue.SamePrefixComparator<byte[]>

Compare KeyValues. When we compare KeyValues, we only compare the Key portion. This means two KeyValues with same Key but different Values are considered the same as far as this Comparator is concerned.

KVComparator

public KVComparator()

Method Detail

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.

Returns:

legacy class name for FileFileTrailer#comparatorClassName
