long |
compare(Sample s1,
Sample s2)
Compares to sample
Must return an long integer that define the relational order of the 2
compared samples :
Negative long integer : s1 is lower than s2
Zero long integer : s1 is strictly equal to s2
Positive long integer : s1 is greater than s2

initialize(SampleMetadata metadata)
Initializes the comparator with the
SampleMetadata of the samples
to be compared. |
public final void initialize(SampleMetadata metadata)
SampleComparatorSampleMetadata of the samples
to be compared.
This function is invoked before any call to thecompare
service.
Not that this function is the place to get sample column indexes for better performance
