Avro and TotalOrderPartitioner

Hi,

I am doing total order sort using the TotalOrderPartitioner. The 
petitioner requires a squenceFile with keys of type WritableComparable. 
Now I can create a sequence file using AvroKey type but that does not 
work as the class is not WritableComparable. How can I create such a 
file using avro data ?

regards
Rahul

You'll need to reimplement the TotalOrderPartitioner to not require
WritableComparable extending keys. Please see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4574, which is the
proposed fix.
