> The current Bytes utility class works, but produces output that does not maintain the native sort ordering of the input value. This results in, for example, a negative value that does not necessarily sort before a positive value. HBase should provide a canonical implementation of such a serialization format so that third-parties can reliably build on top of HBase. This will allow an implementation for HIVE-3634, HIVE-2599, or HIVE-2903 that is compatible with similar features in Pig.
