Used when a cell needs to be compared with a key byte[] such as cases of finding the index from the index block, bloom keys from the bloom blocks This byte[] is expected to be serialized in the KeyValue serialization format If the KeyValue (Cell's) serialization format changes this method cannot be used.

Parameters:

left - the cell to be compared

key - the serialized key part of a KeyValue

offset - the offset in the key byte[]

length - the length of the key byte[]

Returns:

an int greater than 0 if left is greater than right lesser than 0 if left is lesser than right equal to 0 if left is equal to right

```
Compare columnFamily, qualifier, timestamp, and key type (everything except the row). This method is used both in the normal comparator and the "same-prefix" comparator.

Parameters:

comparator - the CellComparator to use for comparison

left - the cell to be compared

right - the serialized key part of a key-value

roffset - the offset in the key byte[]

rlength - the length of the key byte[]

rowlength - the row length

Returns:

greater than 0 if left cell is bigger, less than 0 if right cell is bigger, 0 if both cells are equal

Returns:

Estimate of the cell size in bytes plus an extra SIZEOF_INT indicating the actual cell length.

the key size

getCellKeySerializedAsKeyValueKey
```

Parameters:

cell -

Returns:

The key portion of the Cell serialized in the old-school KeyValue way or null if passed a null cell
