want to change algorithm used in OPP for token and key comparison

[Sagar Agrawal <sn...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am using OrderPreservingPartitioner, and my keys are integers which are
stored as strings, I want to manually assign token values equal to my key
values such that data is equally distributed.
So for this to work, I want to convert the token and key strings to integers
before doing compareTo ( I suppose OPP does a simple compareTo between key
and token value).
So I think I will have to change the code and re compile it.
Would it be a tedious task to do, I don't want to miss out anything.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated?

Thanks
