Class CellComparator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.CellComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparator<Cell>

@InterfaceAudience.Private
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class CellComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Cell>, Serializable

Compare two HBase cells. Do not use this method comparing -ROOT- or hbase:meta cells. Cells from these tables need a specialized comparator, one that takes account of the special formatting of the row where we have commas to delimit table from regionname, from row. See KeyValue for how it has a special comparator to do hbase:meta cells and yet another for -ROOT-.
