This comparator implementation provides a subset of the features provided by the Unix/GNU Sort. In particular, the supported features are: -n, (Sort numerically) -r, (Reverse the result of comparison) -k pos1[,pos2], where pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number of the field to use, and c is the number of the first character from the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1 (the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0 (the end of the field). opts are ordering options (any of 'nr' as described above). We assume that the fields in the key are separated by MRJobConfig.MAP_OUTPUT_KEY_FIELD_SEPERATOR
