[jira] [Comment Edited] (BEAM-315) Flink Runner compares keys unencoded which may produce incorrect results

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15311940#comment-15311940 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------

I thought about it. From your description I guess this should not be a real problem. As long as the corresponding values are compared. In fact I think this was done on purpose to speed up the execution. 

First the values are shuffled according to hash function of the key and all the KV ends up in a correct buckets, then we need to sort them. I guess we compare encoded keys because there's no guarantee that pure keys have comparator defined and we have predefined bytes comparator.
