> In StoreScanner.next(List<KeyValue>, int, String) I find this code:
> {code}
>       // Check that the heap gives us KVs in an increasing order.
>       if (prevKV != null && comparator != null
>           && comparator.compare(prevKV, kv) > 0) {
>         throw new IOException("Key " + prevKV + " followed by a " +
>             "smaller key " + kv + " in cf " + store);
>       }
>       prevKV = kv;
> {code}
> So this checks for bugs in the HFiles or the scanner code. It needs to compare each KVs with its predecessor. This seems unnecessary now, I propose that we remove this.
