>             Project: Hadoop HBase
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
>            Reporter: Erik Holstad
>            Priority: Minor

> When comparing timestamps in the KeyValues tests have shown that it is faster to do a byte[] compare on the timestamps rather than converting to longs and then do the long compare.
> In the case where you have one byte[] and one long that you need to compare it is better to convert both to long and do the long compare.
> Some numbers:
> Compare byte[] to byte[] timer 1042 ns
> Compare bytes2long to bytes2long timer 3143 ns
> Compare long to long timer 281 ns
> bytes2long timer 1328 ns
> long2bytes timer 1349 ns
