[jira] Updated: (AVRO-41) specific and generic instances should implement comparable

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Doug Cutting updated AVRO-41:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-41.patch

Here's a new version.  Ordering is now always consistent with that of the binary comparator (AVRO-108).  To do this required a few incompatible API changes:
 - AVRO-110 (making GenericData and ReflectData into singletons)
 - several methods moved from GenericDatumWriter to GenericData, so that they could be shared by the comparator code.
 - adding a getSchema() method to GenericArray, so that it can implement compareTo().
Tests are added.  Unless there are objections, I will commit this.

> Use of Avro instances with mapreduce would be simpler in many cases if they implemented Comparable.
