[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-4143) Support for a "raw" Partitioner that partitions based on the serialized key and not record objects

["Owen O'Malley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Owen O'Malley resolved HADOOP-4143.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I don't think the gain is worth the additional interface. I would propose adding a BinaryComparable interface that has:

{code}
interface BinaryComparable {
  int getLength();
  byte[] getBytes();
}
{code}

and both Text and BytesWritable should implement it.

> For some partitioners (particularly those using comparators to classify keys), it would be helpful if one could specify a "raw" partitioner that would receive the serialized version of the key rather than the object emitted from the map.
