int	compareIgnoringPrefix(int commonPrefix, byte[] left, int loffset, int llength, byte[] right, int roffset, int rlength) Compare two keys assuming that the first n bytes are the same.

Method Detail

compareIgnoringPrefix

int compareIgnoringPrefix(int commonPrefix,
                          byte[] left,
                          int loffset,
                          int llength,
                          byte[] right,
                          int roffset,
                          int rlength)

Compare two keys assuming that the first n bytes are the same.

Parameters:

commonPrefix - How many bytes are the same.
