getProxy

public int getProxy(org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable key)

Description copied from interface: org.apache.tez.runtime.library.common.comparator.ProxyComparator

This comparator interface provides a fast-path for comparisons between keys. The implicit assumption is that integer returned from this function serves as a transitive comparison proxy for the comparator that this implements. But this does not serve as a measure of equality. getProxy(k1) < getProxy(k2) implies k1 < k2 (transitive between different keys for sorting requirements) getProxy(k1) == getProxy(k2) does not imply ordering, but requires actual key comparisons. This serves as a way to short-circuit the RawComparator speeds.

Specified by:

getProxy in interface org.apache.tez.runtime.library.common.comparator.ProxyComparator<org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable>

Returns:

proxy
