Hi all, I'm having quite a dilemma with the CompareWith attribute. The Problem is that I have numeric IDs that I'd like to use as row keys, only that I also have to offer a possibility to let users input them from std input. Since I cannot ask my users to input an 8byte sequence representing the ID they'd like, I was about to turn to UTF8, when I remembered that they are compared lexicographically, so that 100 actually comes before 2, which kills key slices. Also I cannot just code a converter in since this is supposed to be a used with multiple columnfamilies, so just converting an integer read into 8bytes isn't going to work either. Any tricks for this one?
