> Guava has a nice implementation of lexicographical byte-array comparison that uses sun.misc.Unsafe to compare unsigned byte arrays long-at-a-time. Their benchmarks show it as being 2x more CPU-efficient than the equivalent pure-Java implementation. We can easily integrate this into WritableComparator.compareBytes to improve CPU performance in the shuffle.
