> This new comparator is similar to the existing BinaryComparator, but only compares up to the length of the supplied byte array.
> The use-case I need this for is secondary indexes. I build a table where the row keys have the form {value}{row key}, where {value} is a fixed length byte array. On this index table I then would like to perform range scans on just the fixed length {value} part. The BinaryPrefixComparator supplied in this patch enables exactly this, when used in combination with the RowFilter.
