question: @ Override public int compareTo ( NewSplitEmittedTerm term2 ) { int result ; if ( ( result = term . compareTo ( term2 . getTerm ( ) ) ) != 0 ) return result ; if ( ( result = splitno - term2 . getSplitno ( ) ) != 0 ) return result ; return flushno - term2 . getFlushno ( ) ; }
target:  Compares this Term key to another term key. Note that terms are unique only in conjunction with their associated split and flush.
