Method Detail

compare

public int compare(byte[] b1,
          int s1,
          int l1,
          byte[] b2,
          int s2,
          int l2)

Description copied from class: WritableComparator

Optimization hook. Override this to make SequenceFile.Sorter's scream.

The default implementation reads the data into two WritableComparables (using Writable.readFields(DataInput), then calls WritableComparator.compare(WritableComparable,WritableComparable).

Specified by:

compare in interface RawComparator

Overrides:

compare in class WritableComparator

Parameters:

b1 - The first byte array.

s1 - The position index in b1. The object under comparison's starting index.

l1 - The length of the object in b1.

b2 - The second byte array.

s2 - The position index in b2. The object under comparison's starting index.

l2 - The length of the object under comparison in b2.

Returns:

An integer result of the comparison.
