>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: regionserver
>    Affects Versions: 0.96.0

> Now, KeyValue Comparator is static by code in HRegionInfo
> {code}
>   public KVComparator getComparator() {
>     return isRootRegion()? KeyValue.ROOT_COMPARATOR: isMetaRegion()?
>       KeyValue.META_COMPARATOR: KeyValue.COMPARATOR;
>   }
> {code}
> In some user cases, we need a personalized KeyValue Comparator.
> e.g. Current ByteArrayComparator couldn't be used to sort number if exists negative number.(Because the bytes of -1 is bigger than the bytes of any other number)
> I think supporting per-table configuration of KeyValue Comparator would be useful.
> Welcome comments,
> I will make the patch tomorrow.
