Class KeyValue.KVComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.KVComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Cell>

Direct Known Subclasses:

KeyValue.MetaComparator

Enclosing class:

KeyValue

public static class KeyValue.KVComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Cell>

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. Hosts a KeyValue.MetaKeyComparator.
