/**
 * <p>Partition {@link BinaryComparable} keys using a configurable part of 
 * the bytes array returned by {@link BinaryComparable#getBytes()}.</p>
 * 
 * <p>The subarray to be used for the partitioning can be defined by means
 * of the following properties:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>
 *     <i>mapreduce.partition.binarypartitioner.left.offset</i>:
 *     left offset in array (0 by default)
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     <i>mapreduce.partition.binarypartitioner.right.offset</i>: 
 *     right offset in array (-1 by default)
 *   </li>
 * </ul>
 * Like in Python, both negative and positive offsets are allowed, but
 * the meaning is slightly different. In case of an array of length 5,
 * for instance, the possible offsets are:
 * <pre><code>
 *  +---+---+---+---+---+
 *  | B | B | B | B | B |
 *  +---+---+---+---+---+
 *    0   1   2   3   4
 *   -5  -4  -3  -2  -1
 * </code></pre>
 * The first row of numbers gives the position of the offsets 0...5 in 
 * the array; the second row gives the corresponding negative offsets. 
 * Contrary to Python, the specified subarray has byte <code>i</code> 
 * and <code>j</code> as first and last element, repectively, when 
 * <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> are the left and right offset.
 * 
 * <p>For Hadoop programs written in Java, it is advisable to use one of 
 * the following static convenience methods for setting the offsets:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@link #setOffsets}</li>
 *   <li>{@link #setLeftOffset}</li>
 *   <li>{@link #setRightOffset}</li>
 * </ul></p>
