Description copied from class: ByteArrayComparable

Special compareTo method for subclasses, to avoid copying byte[] unnecessarily.

Specified by:

compareTo in class ByteArrayComparable

Parameters:

value - byte[] to compare

offset - offset into value

length - number of bytes to compare

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Parameters:

pbBytes - A pb serialized NullComparator instance

Returns:

An instance of NullComparator made from bytes

Throws:

DeserializationException
