Using doubles and longs as ordering row valuesJonathan Bishop 2012-11-05, 18:41
Hi,
In my application my row values are doubles. I would like my scans to
traverse the rows in order of increasing values.
But if I simply use
double d = ....
byte[] row = Bytes.toBytes(d);
I will get an ordering which is based on the byte values of doubles, not on
the value of the doubles themselves.
I see also that integer values have the same issue due to the first bit
being the sign bit. So negative values will come after positive values.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon

It's the same ordering as long as you don't use negative values.

Don't use row keys that can be negative? :)
Also don't use a single number as a row key, see
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#rowkey.design

Hi Jonathan,
If possible try to avoid using Double for rowkey because Double has
precision problems.
Here is more details about problems with double:
1.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12699040/double-vs-long-serialization-in-java
2.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/179427/how-to-resolve-a-java-rounding-double-issue
You might get wrong results due problems in Double. You can use two long or
int to store the decimal value as RowKey.

Have a look at the lily library. It has code to encode Longs/Doubles into bytes such that resulting bytes sort as expected based on the numbers.
