[jira] [Resolved] (CASSANDRA-4605) Pig should use the default comparator for slice_start/end

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brandon Williams resolved CASSANDRA-4605.
-----------------------------------------

       Resolution: Later
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.1.6)

I remember why I did this now.  We don't have an opportunity to grab the schema at this point without doing something pretty hackish like just parsing the ks/cf from the url, then calling initSchema an extra time with thrift setup/teardown to figure out the comparator.

> Pig allows specifying slice start and end, but by default uses a BytesType comparator for this, though it allows overriding with a 'comparator' param.
> I believe this came from a time before pig was fully schema-aware, and made it more convenient if you had timeuuid, since writing the hex form 'EA' was easier than '\\u234' which then you'd have to url escape.
> Instead, pig should use the default comparator from the schema, but still allow overriding.
